Nehemiah 8:  Then Ezra praised God, the great God, and all the people responded, "Oh Yes! Yes!" with hands raised high. And then they fell to their knees in worship of God, their faces to the ground.

1 Corinthians 12:  You are Christ's body – that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.

John 2:  God's Spirit is on me; he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free,  to announce, "This is God's year to act!"

Rosemary's Blessing:

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger

 

 

 

 

 

Hi, Emma, Happy Easter

 

 

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God

you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

 

May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like

God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.

Hi, Harper.  Tell your dad it is so nice to see him.  Happy Easter.

Exodus 3:  God replied, “I am who am.”  Then he added, “This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you.”

1 Corinthians 10:  These things happened as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil things, as they did.

Luke 13:  ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future.  If not you can cut it down.’”

Rosemary's Blessing:

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.

Amen
