ByRosemary April 8, 2018

Sister Act, while Zoe lights our candles for the celebration, Georgie reads the blessing for the candles.

Readings:

Acts of the Apostles 4, 32-35 , The community was of one heart & mind

Psalm 118, Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting.

1 John 5, 1-6, Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by Bod.

John 20, 19-31, Thomas doubts.

Father & Son Act, Cody and Ben.

Acts of the Apostles observations:

Again like was explained last week, this work is basically the story of the development & growth of the Christian community after the death of Jesus up to Paul's arrival in Rome.

It is considered more idealistic than factual. This passage is a good example of this idealism. The socialistic life style presented is what we lived as Jesuits. Any money we earned went into the community. Any needs we had for money came from the community. Some communities I lived in had a cash drawer. You took what you needed. Other communities I went to the brother. He may be on a tractor pulling a gang mower on the football field. I would wave to him & he would pull a wad of cash out of his pocked and give me whatever I needed. There was a mutual trust.

Offertory Act, Bill & Ron, Richard & Carol, & Barb.

Today's homily was a reading by Beth of The Fall of Freddie the Leaf By Leo Buscaglia.

Is not the worker worthy of a reward? Ask Beth. Thanks, Beth, for the touching reading of The Fall of Freddy the Leaf.

Ugh, ogh, Folks, She is back. Watch out, You Girls.

Happy 1st Easter, Dear Atlas, so nice to see you. Know that you have a terrific mommy. Congratulations, Dearest Wendy

Readings: (Easter Sunday)

Acts of the Apostles 10, 34, 37-43 , Peter proceeded to speak

Psalm 118, This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.

1 Corinthians 5, 6-8, A little yeast leavens all the dough.

John 20, 1-95, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning.

Congratulations, Brandon. What a neat little boy you have.

Acts of the Apostles

This work is basically the story of the development & growth of the Christian community after the death of Jesus up to Paul's arrival in Rome.

It is considered more idealistic than factual.

The author seems to be Luke, the same who wrote the Gospel.

Thanks, Dearest Emma, for being our Candle Lighter of The Week

A Random Act of Kindness

Mary Ellen has a friend named Diane. They met in their book club probably many years ago. Diane was a significant help with the move of Mary Ellen from her nice condo to Prestonwood Assisted Living.

A couple of weeks ago Diane and another friend of hers decided to go out for lunch. They chose Napoli’s Italian, which I think is on Independence & McDermott. Do our Juliettes not know this place already?

Offertory. Happy Easter Dearest Cameron, Trey, Brady, & Reid, and also to your crazy dad, my beloved friend.

So they have their lunch, chat, and finally ask the waiter for their bill. Instead of giving them their bill, the waiter says that another lady who had been eating in the restaurant had paid for them and left.

Another Random Act of Kindness.

And You? Performed any Random Acts of Kindness lately?

Special thanks to our Special Easter Team, Georgie and Buddy, along with John and Mike.

Happy Easter

(P.S. Incidentally, Rosemary suggested to me that maybe we ought to have lunch once in a while at this Napoli’s.)

I think this must be Christmas or Easter. So many old & dear friends.

Watch out, My Dear Leo. A big rabbit is just about ready to snatch you.

Hi, Emma, Happy Easter

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God

you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like

God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.
