Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

     no hands but yours,

     no feet but yours,

Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

     compassion is to look out to the world,

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to

     go about doing good,

Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to  

     bless all people now.

From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

 

 

 

Mary, who read the Beautiful Isaiah.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

       A calm and hopeful spirit in the midst of anxieties,

       And a holy anger for injustice in the world.

Alpen Glow, evening, from a large granite boulder above one of the best campsites, after descending from Burrow pass, 11k plus, on the shore of Piutte Creek, night 6 or 7, probably night 6 because on night 7 we had an enormous rain, wind, lightening, and thunder storm about 8-9 P.M. Everybody survived the storm quite well.

Stream crossing on the very last day of the 9 days.   A humbling experience for an old ex-Jesuit who thinks he knows the Matterhorn hike like a bike ride around White Rock Lake.  Since the past two Matterhorn hikes had low water in the creeks, so must be the case this year.  Wrong!  High water was everywhere.  Late & heavy snow.  Thanks, Andy, for loaning me your Keene sandals all 8 or 10 times I needed them.

 

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week:

 

Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people,

A heart that forgives the worst,

A mind that forgets the bad,

And a soul that never loses faith in God.

Following an ancient Jewish marriage custom, Austin stomps on a wine glass wrapped in a napkin.    The custom certainly seems to refer back to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.  Then multiple interpretations come up.  I chose the idea that the couple celebrates how all of our ancestors have navigated the broken glass in their lives and says to the couple that they, too, because of being a couple, will navigate successfully the broken glass in their own lives.

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week: 

Lord …

Help us to hear your voice …

In the quiet, in the storm, and in each other.

Help us to share your words …

In loving and caring for ourselves and each other.
