    Proverbs 8:   "The LORD possessed me, the beginning of his ways,  the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago; from of old I was poured forth,  at the first, before the earth." 

    Romans 5:  Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

    John 16:  But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.  He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures.

    We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover.  But we know that these are all names for one and the same God.

    Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being. In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

    Acts 2:   Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

    1 Corinthians 12:To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

    John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you."

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    A Pentecost Prayer

    Welcome Holy Spirit,
    In the silence of a still night’s fearful thought you come,
    comfort in the sleepless worries,
    gentle in the rising doubts,
    forgiving all our handmade hurts,
    patient in our pointless hurry,
    counseling as the waves come crashing,
    “Be still and know that I am God.”

    Wonderful Counselor, Comforter,
    you will never abandon us.
    You will always be with us.

    Your promises are sure.

    Help us to give like you,
    forgive like you, live for you.

    Amen

    Acts 1:  “. . . for John baptized with water,  but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

    Ephesians 1: May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, . . . 

    Luke 24:  “. . . And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

    Acts 15:  It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage.

    Revelation 21:  The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb.

    John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Acts 14:  And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

    Revelation 21:  I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race.  He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them as their God.

    John 13:  I give you a new commandment: love one another.  As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.   This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    …and life is still a constant surprise to me. 

    We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose. 

    Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy. 

    But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed. 

    And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

    Acts 13:  Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.

    Suggested Petitions for Mother’s Day

    For our mothers, who have given us life and love, that we may show them reverence and love, and others who show us a mother’s love, we pray to the Lord.

    For adoptive mothers and for the women who wish to give birth but experience challenges, that they know your care, we pray to the Lord.

    For mothers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope, and their family and friends support and console them, we pray to the Lord.

    For those who wish to serve as mothers, but are not able to do so, that they know your comfort, we pray to the Lord.

    For mothers who have died, that God may bring them into the joy of his kingdom, we pray to the Lord.

    Rosemary's Blessing:


    Life is short …

    Break the rules,

    Forgive quickly,

    Kiss slowly,

    Love truly,

    Laugh uncontrollably,

    And never regret anything that made you smile.

    Mark Twain

    Acts 10:  To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.

    Colossians 3:  If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,  where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

    John 20:  On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.

    Joyous Time of Year

    always be there by your side
    to bless you
    most abundantly
    and be your loving guide.
