• Reminder for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 11, 2022

    Exodus 12:  The Lord said to Moses, "Go down at once to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved".

    1 Timothy 1:  Indeed the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

    Luke 15:  My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours.  But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    Come, O Dancing God,

    Spirit of Life and Love,

    of  Beauty and Diversity,

    stir up my soul,

    bathe me in your light,

    and unleash my own spirit

    that I may dance with you

    and be light for those around me

    and reflect your love to all that I meet this week.
