    Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
    Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
    Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

     


    Serenity is not the ability to accommodate wrongs; it is the ability to point them out without apology. “Not to be angered by injustice,” Eknath Easwaran writes, “is a lack of sensitivity.”

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     

    HOPI PRAYER OF THE SOUL'S GRADUATION:


    Do not stand at my grave and weep
    I am not there,
    I do not sleep.

    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glints on snow.
    I am the sunlight
    On the ripened grain.
    I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

    When you awaken in the morning hush,
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there.
    I did not die.

    The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

    Amen.

    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.
