    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Sometimes readings in Advent focus mainly on repentance and on waiting for the Savior and Messiah to redeem us from our sins.  Yet, the Jewish people of the Hebrew Scriptures and the early Christians had much broader expectations.  The Savior is the one who comforts and heals us, rescues and unbinds us, enlightens us and lifts us up as well as wipes away our sins.  The earthly life of Jesus was filled with his healing and compassionate acts; his treating outcasts and women with inclusivity, dignity and love; his breaking down cultural, religious and social walls that separate people; and his not only forgiving sinners, but also eating with them.   This is what Jesus wants to do for us.  Advent is a time of becoming more whole, a time of becoming all we want to be and all God wants us to be.

     

    IMG_2316

     

     

    Rosemary reading her Blessing of The Week
     

     

     

    This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season.  Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth. The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light?  What's not OK in me?  What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me?  Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice?  To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Here is a prayer said to be written by St. Thomas Moore reminding us to live joyfully.  

     

    Prayer to live Joyfully:

    Grant me, O Lord good digestion and also something to digest.

    Grant me, O Lord a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.

    Grant me a simple soul that knows no boredom, grumblings, sighs or laments.

    Grant me, O Lord, a sense of humor.

    Allow me grace to be able to take a joke–to discover in life a bit of Joy and to be able to share it with others.

    Amen

    We give thanks for friends and remember the friendless,

    We give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved.

    May our giving thanks stir us to service, that our blessings may be shared with others. Amen

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

     

    Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    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!
