A Special Note from Cathy Bambanek 

My mom passed away Friday from congestive heart failure.  

Visitation is at 7:00PM-8 Tuesday, with a rosary at 8, more visitation until 9.  This is at Ted Dickey West on the George Bush Highway.

A funeral mass will be said at 10:30  Wednesday at St. Marks on 15th Street.  There will be a luncheon afterwards at the church and all are welcome to attend.  Then the cemetary at 1:30.  

I would love to have you come to any or all of them.

If you would like to bring something to the house, we need beer, wine, and appetizers to serve to relatives coming from out of town.  They will only be here Tues and Wed, so we do not need a lot of food.

My address is 2505 heather hill lane.

Thanks to all of you for being great friends.  Please pray for my family at this stressful time.

(Sorry, Cathy, I did not get this before publishing the Sunday blog.)

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.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    and anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

You who dwell in our hearts,

make for us a cave there

in which to hear your voice more distinctly,

feel your care more tenderly,

understand your will more clearly,

and come to know your presence

at every moment of our lives

with new clarity and new courage,

with new faith and new urgency.

Rosemary's Blessing

 Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!
