    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,

    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

     

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men

    you have given to us in our lives.

     

    Support them in their call

    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

     

    May their witness of faith and love

    shine from them and on their children and families

    giving hope and encouragement to all.

     

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.

    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

     

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches

    who have shown us love and support.

     

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,

    give them your loving touch of healing

    consoling them with your gentle care.

     

    For those fathers who have gone before us,

    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;

    bring them the fullness of union with you

    and communion with us as we remember their love for us. Amen.

  • Reminder for 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 30, 2024

    Wisdom 1: For God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made him.

    2 Corinthians 8:  You are familiar with the generosity of our Master, Jesus Christ. Rich as he was, he gave it all away for us – in one stroke he became poor and we became rich.

    Mark 5:   He clasped the girl's hand and said, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, get up."   At that, she was up and walking around! This girl was twelve years of age. They, of course, were all beside themselves with joy.

    coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

    Rosemary's Blessing:


    The grass never sleeps.

    Or the roses.

    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.

    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.

    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,

    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,

    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.

    Jesus said, wait with me.

    And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn't move,

    maybe the lake far away, where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.

    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not

    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,

    so utterly human, knowing this too

    must be a part of the story.


    Gethsemane  by Mary Oliver

    Exodus 12:  The Lord said to Moses, "Go down at once to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved".

    1 Timothy 1:  Indeed the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

    Luke 15:  My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours.  But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.
