    Rosemary's Blessing:

    May you be blessed with the gift of humility

    To know who you are,

    To appreciate your strengths and talents,

    To be aware of your shortcomings and limitations,

    And most especially…

    To be grateful each day for life

    You see this Buddy!  He has the whole Blessing of The Candles memorized!

     

    Where is the spirit these days?

    I never know from where or why suddenly something or someone will really touch me.

    On floor #1 on board the Viking Sea there is a grouping of 2 small & one larger room with workout equipment.  6 to 7 every morning I used to work out.  Get this, even Rosemary joined me.  Then at 7:00 we would head down to the atrium on the same floor where there is a small bar that serves the best lattes on the ship.

    The Candle Lighting Girls, Tori & Zoe.

     

     

    About the third morning out I am working out on a stand up elliptical when I hear the clear and friendly voice of a guy on a treadmill behind me.  It seems like he enjoys talking with everyone. 

    The room has three elliptical & 4 stationary bikes in one line and a second line of maybe 6-7 treadmills, all facing the big windows outside of which the sea is going wild.

     

    IMG_9023

     

    The Offertory Team, Bill, Fred, and Martha.

     

    I chat up the guy when he finishes and we are both drying off.  This goes on maybe 4 more days when one morning we all 3 get talking at the water fountain in the corner.  In answer to his question, whatever it was, Rosemary & I share the story of our marriage.  He goes crazy.  I tell him he is welcome to share it with others and he does.

    Maybe 2-3 days later I realize the guy is working out twice a day.  I am impressed and see why he looks to be in such good shape, being in his late 50’ or 60’s.

     

    IMG_8978

     

    Tara, where did you get that megawatt smile??!!

     

    We go on for another 2-3 days until we arrive at L’Ance au Meadow in Newfoundland, a fairly recently discovered area where a Viking village existed some hundreds of year ago.  To get from the village where the ship moored to the former Viking village Viking Cruises had to requisition 10 or more buses, school buses no less.

    Lo and behold, at the Viking village we meet up with our new friend and get talking.  It was a delightful sunny day, mild temperature.  We asked him more about his life.  We already knew he was a university professor.

     

     

    IMG_8986

     

     

    Fred & Martha, So good to see you both in town and with us.

     

     

    Turns out he had to watch both of his parents slowly deteriorate one from Alzheimer's & one from Parkinson's.  Because of this he tries to stay in the best shape possible.  This news really stunned me.  Just that he shared it meant a lot.  No wonder he works out so faithfully, something I certainly appreciate and emulate. 

    When was the last time your spirit was touched?

    (What about Izzi’s baptism last Sunday!)

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
    With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.
    May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
    The kindness you spread keep returning to you.
    May the friendships you make be those which endure,
    And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.
    And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
    May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

    Hi, Jan.  Where is that Crazy Man, Sir Charlie?

     

    True?

     

    A scholar was bragging to a boatman about all the knowledge he had acquired. “Can you swim?” the boatman asked. “No,” the scholar replied…. “Then all of your knowledge is wasted,” replied the boatman, “because the boat is sinking.”

  • Sunday Homily, September 8, 2019, 23rd Ordinary Time

    Welcome into our community, Tom & Susan.  Poor Tom was a student at Jesuit when that Stack was supposed to be one of the teaching staff.

     

     

    Readings:

    Wisdom 9, 13-18,  Thus were the paths of those on earth made straight

    Psalm 90,  In every age, O Lordyou have been our refuge

    Philemon  9, 10. 12-17,   Welcome him as you would me.

    Luke 14, 25-33,    …hating his father & mother, wife & children

    Homily by Stack     

    I would like to talk about the line from Wisdom that struck me, It’s’ hard to make sense of what is going on in the world & harder still to understand what happening right under our noses. 

    My problem is that I do understand.  Consequently, I can get down and I tell Rosemary, ”Let’s don’t talk about that stuff.”  Now, seeing that Rosemary & I will be out of the country the next  two weeks of September, I want to focus on activities and events that console me, challenge me, and make me proud to be an American.  I got five quickies.

    Our candle lighting team of the week, Zoe, Tori, and their friend Zoe.

     

     

    First, anybody know where the Dallas Baptist Men are this morning?  Try Florida and N. Carolina, according to the announcement I heard while Dorian was still in the Bahamas.  So, before hitting the U.S. they already had packed up their pick ups, their shower 18 wheeler, their mobile kitchen, and tons of food.

    I worked along side these guys in Galveston and, in fact, shared a  large rectangular dormitory with about 25 guys, one of which snored like a chain saw.

    Rosemary sez to Cindy, "Now while I am gone you have this short list of 16 things to do for the community."

     

     

    The group I was with in Galveston was, as you can guess, Bona Responds, the group of St. Bonaventure students with their incredible professor, Jim Mahar, plus his henchman, our own Pagosa Bill Hammond.  Guess from whom I got a message about taking a group to the Bahamas.

    Closer at hand, how about Meals on Wheels?  I am so proud of Rosemary and Barbara, her buddy, when they head out together to bring food to about 12-18 people.  You might think this is a local endeavor only.  Come with us on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day when a mob of regular volunteers pick up their food at the central headquarters near Love Field.

    The BEST, John & Connie who can now see the world, thanks to the cataract removals.

     

     

    On 60 Minutes a week or so I heard about a wealthy alumnus of NYU (Rosemary's Alma Mater) who gathered & donated enough money to set up a trust to enable all students in the medical school study loan free.  I was in tears when it showed the assembled students getting the notice.

    Finally, a favorite of our community, the Love for Kids picnic in the Fall and the one in the Spring.  We ride in under the flag of Bona Responds and Pagosa Bill suits us all up in special T shirts.  Who ever came up with this plan?  It is fabulous and most touching.

    Come on, Ben, I'm jealous & want a Zeke Elliott do like you got.

     

     

    These are five reasons I am honored and proud to be here in Plano with you people, to be in Texas, and to be in the U.S.

    Your five reasons?

    Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

    O Lord, you mark the journey of life with change. Once again we witness your creation moving from one season to the other. Change is your instrument of growth that brings us to a deeper relationship with you. May your Word be the lantern that guides the roads of change in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
