7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 23, 2025
Samuel 26: But David said to Abishai, “Do not harm him, for who can lay hands on the LORD’s anointed and remain unpunished?” So David took the spear and the water jug from their place at Saul’s head, and they got away without anyone’s seeing or knowing or awakening.
1 Corinthians 15: Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.
Luke 6: To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Thanks…

Rosemary's Blessing:
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 my living simple.
