Sirach 15:  If you trust in God, you too shall live, …

Corinthians 2:  What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,…

Matthew 5:  I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

What Is Success

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
This is to have succeeded.

and Gilberto and Randolph get a cookie for their birthdays

Hi Everyone,

 

John and Rosemary finally got back home on Thursday night after having their flights cancelled 3 times.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the ArtCentre of Plano for Mass on Sunday.

 

 

Isaiah 8:  The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown.

Corinthians 1:  Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.

Matthew 4:  …Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has risen.

 

John and Rosemary will be out of town next week.  Mass for 1/29/23 will be on Zoom with  John Cade.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

 

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger

 

 

Isaiah 49:  I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

Corinthians 1:  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 1:  On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit!

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

New Years Prayer  by Charlotte Anselmo

 

Thank you Lord for giving me

The brand new year ahead

Help me live the way I should

As each new day I tread.

 

Give me gentle wisdom

That I might help a friend

Give me strength and courage

So a shoulder I may lend.

 

The year ahead is empty

Help me fill it with good things

Each new day filled with joy

And the happiness it brings.

 

Please give the leaders of our world

A courage born of peace

That they might lead us gently

And all the fighting cease.

 

Please give to all upon this earth

A heart that’s filled with love

A gentle happy way to live

With your blessings from above.

Isaiah 60:  Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!  Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.

Ephesians 3:  …that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Matthew 2:  The prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold,  frankincense, and myrrh.
