    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men.

    Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.

    Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

    Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

    May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.

    Amen.

    Christmas 3

     

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

    Christmas 3

     

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life

    May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted

    May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally

    And  may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves

    Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    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.

    Prayer for Good Humor
    by St. Thomas More

    Grant me, O Lord, good digestion, and also something to digest.
    Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.
    Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good
    and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil,
    but rather finds the means to put things back in their place.
    Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments,
    nor excess of stress, because of that obstructing thing called “I.”
    Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor.
    Allow me the 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.

  • Special Announcement November 17, 2021

     

    Because someone attending Mass last Sunday has been diagnosed with the Covid virus, the Board would like to reinstitute some of the precautions that we were using when we first came together again as a Community for Mass.  

    1. Masks.  We have all been wearing masks.
    2. Observe the 6 foot rule.  Families may sit together but different families should maintain a 6 ft distance from each other.
    3. No touching or wandering around.  At the Kiss of Pease, please wave or nod to each other rather than hugging and touching.
    4. Sanitize.  There will be a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table when you come in.

     

    We are all vaccinated and these extra precautions should provide a safe atmosphere to celebrate Mass.

     

    Thank you.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
