September 2023

The leaves wave~~. 🍁
God’s love is in the breeze of life shared.
Calling each one of us forth
    Changing colors
     Showing us new ways
To serve
To be Jesus’ love
     Autumn gathers and
        showers us with new hopes
Let us embrace the season with…
…joy
…kindness
…prayer
Let us become a disciple 🍃
    with a mission shared with
    the spirit of a new season….
…inclusive
…respectful
…compassionate
   Let each one of us become a vibrant
     color on the tree of life.   Amen.   🌳

Brightness of Being a Blessing

August is a month of sunlight.
This makes me think of the sun-light of the Beatitudes.
The Blessedness of the Beatitudes represent the heart of Jesus’ message.
During this month of August let’s be Beatitude People.

  • Blessed are the poor in spirit…let’s recognize our dependence on God
  • Blessed are those who mourn…let us be compassionate hearts with the “gift of tears” (Pope Francis)
  • Blessed are the meek…be gentle of heart and non-violent
  • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst…do God’s will with a just heart
  • Blessed are the merciful…mercy is full of forgiveness
  • Blessed are the pure of heart…express your faith in loving ways
  • Blessed are the peacemakers…is a call to be a peace-giver
  • Blessed are those who are persecuted…be a person who extends heart-peace

Let us strive during the last month of summer to be the brightness of Jesus’ Love by the way we speak to and about others.

May the sun-light of our actions be a wonderful, holy reflection of the “blessedness” of being. The sunshine of our faith lived with an open heart. Amen💓
