Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

From  A Lenten Reflection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ

    Loving Father,

    Often we forget your gifts to us,

    letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

    Show us how to look again,

    to see through your eyes

    and give freely in response to what we see.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.
     

    May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.
     

    May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.
     

    And  may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.
     

    Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

    Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

    Keep me

    from rushing through the season, but missing the Way . . .

    from decorating the tree, but missing the Light . . .

    from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.

    Bulletin 2 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

    1.  Back operation date, 12/28/18

    2.  Spinal surgeon, Dr. Jones-Quaidoo.  Check the September, 2018 issue of D Magazine.

    3.  How did all this come about?  The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job).   I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the  last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.
