Rosemary’s Blessing:

A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

Rosemary reading her Blessing of the Week.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen.

17^th Century Nun’s Prayer

Homilies

Sunday Homily, March 13, 2016, 5th Lent, C

ByRosemary March 13, 2016

Readings:

Isaiah 43, 16-21, See, I am doing something new

Psalm 126, The Lord has done great things for us, we are filled with joy.

Philippians 3, 8-14, For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things.

John 8, 1-11, The woman caught in adultery.

Says Genevieve, "Welcome, Everybody, where you been?"

Isaiah Observations:

The scene: the Jewish people are captives in Babylon ca. 555 years before Christ. Isaiah No.1 had warned the people that their bad ways were going to lead to this.

In this chapter 43, which is Isaiah No. 2, Isaiah has Yahweh reminding them of how much he has done for them in the past and lets them know that they are still his people. Their lives will get better.

The first 5 verses of this chapter are some of my favorites in the whole Bible. Isaiah No.2 is telling the people to not be afraid because he is with them. It goes—

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you… When you pass through fire, you will not suffer. I regard you as precious, honored, and I love you.

Leo, The Candle Lighter of The Week, at work.

Philippians Observations:

Philippi was a town in Macedonia, now called Greece. Philippi was the first church Paul set up on European soil. He is in prison. He is basically saying that for him nothing has any importance beyond his relationship with Jesus.

The Chair Person of our Welcoming Committee.

Punishment or Compassion

I would like to talk this morning about the woman in the gospel, the one about to be stoned to death for being caught in adultery. An example of punishment vs compassion. The Law vs Jesus. The brutality and the injustice of it smacks me in the face. It is, also, so contemporary.

It reminds me of a very uncomfortable situation I found myself in when I was learning Swahili in Tanzania. This would have been about ’77 or ’78, when I was just getting into the language.

Alison preparing the communion cups.

I was at an outstation church from an outstation church maintained by our Jesuit parish in a town called Tabora, smack in the middle of Tanzania, on the east-west train track. This is the place where I later fell into the grave of a little lady I was burying and the place where I spent Advent and Christmas one year with two young Jesuit interns from the Island of Malta just off the Mediterranean tip of Italy.

On this occasion I was being shown around by the 4-5 men of this tiny village with a small, mud walled church. I could not have been saying much because the language was still quite difficult for me.

Sir Charlie saluting The Queen Mother.

It was afternoon of a pleasant day. We are way out in the bush and I remember the land was fairly green. It was probably the period of the small rains, meaning, say, February or March. The long rains come in our summer. This is south of the equator.

At one point the men and I are wandering up a slope on top of which was a fairly large corrugated metal building, probably built by the government to help the villagers store their produce.

Offertory, Tom & Aggie & Allen.

As we get closer I can hear voices from inside the building and a thud or two. Maybe the guys escorting me had explained what was going on and I did not understand.

Whatever the case, we are maybe twenty yards from a door at the corner of the building when, all of a sudden, the door opens and a few guys come out and with them staggers a man who has been beater. He is dressed in nothing more than something like a towel or a skirt. He has bruises on his shoulders and legs. Because he is black I can’t see discoloring, but I see wounds.

The Best, Shonda, Bethany, and Ray.

He has been caught cattle rustling. He took one cow that he found out in the countryside near the village and attempted to get away. He is a skinny older guy and probably not too smart. They caught him easily.

After teaching him a lesson, they are planning to walk him to the police station about 40 miles away in Tabora, the larger town I came from. Along the way they will pass a few small villages where the inhabitants will also beat him. If he makes it, jail will look pretty good. And he does make it, I heard later.

Can that be a little mouse I see. Looks like a familiar little mouse.

When this old guy sees me, he sees a savior and comes toward me with a begging gesture.

I am ready to throw up and I want to tell the people to stop beating the man. But I don’t know the language and I feel very awkward because these people are hosting me. I feel paralyzed.

What do I do? I did nothing. And I was haunted by my doing nothing for years. I had to forgive myself somewhere along the years.

Long time best buddies, Leo and John

Two lessons for me here.

Which is better, justice according to the law or compassion?
What do I do if I chicken out?

Anybody recognize this foot? Looks like it belongs to That Mouse.

Mike’s Homily for March 6, 2016

Introduction

The Jewish event of Passover set the stage for the Israelites to pass through the Red Sea. In our First reading today they are celebrating the event of Passover to prepare themselves for the their journey through the River Jordan and into the Promised Land.

The apostle Paul tells us in Second Corinthians that God has reconciled us to him through his Son, the Lamb of God, our Passover Mystery, to be a new creation in Christ.

Genevieve and her mom, Mary, say, "Welcome in, Everybody."

Homily

To get a fuller understanding of today’s gospel, we should seek to understand it within the context of where it was placed in the Luke gospel. When we do, we find that the tax collectors and sinners had been seeking Jesus’ wisdom and fellowship for he welcomed them with dignity and invited them to return home with sincere love.

The self-righteous Pharisees and scribes saying, ‘He welcomes sinners and eats with them,’ were building walls to keep the sinners out while Jesus was inviting them in.

Really nice to see you, Leo.

The father in today’s reading followed Jesus example; the older brother was very much like the Pharisees and Scribes. The father’s heart was filled with compassion and tenderness, goodness and kindness for his younger son who had returned home.

The older son had no intention of inviting his younger brother home; he had already judged and disowned him. So, the father teaches his older son about the fruit of compassion in today’s reading, ‘We had to celebrate with the meal of the fatted calf and rejoice, for your brother was lost and is found. He was spiritually dead; but now forgiven, alive again.’

He is back. Buddy, our special helper.

These words are how the father put into practice addressing the bitterness and anger that his older son had just expressed to him, ‘All these years I have slaved for you and yet you have never once given me so much as a kid to celebrate with my friends.’

Instead of judging the self-righteous, Jesus addresses the Scribes and Pharisees with the wisdom of God, ‘There will be more rejoicing among the angels in heaven over one repentant sinner, than over ninety-nine virtuous men who have no need of repentance.’

Our Special Girls, Zoe, Victoria, and Emma.
