John reads from the beautiful Isaiah (3)

 

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

Lord

May we never take our freedom for granted

and help us to strive so that this same freedom

may be experienced by everyone in our country,

especially the poor and the oppressed,

and eventually by all humankind.

    Isaiah 35:  Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.
    James 5:  
    You too must be patient.  Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand.
    Matthew 11:  
    Jesus said to them in reply,  “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
    I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

    I asked for health, that I might do great things.
    I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

    I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
    I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
    I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
    I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

    I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
    Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

    I am, among men, most richly blessed”

    Let us pray to our God

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and our living simple.
