It was snowing this past Sunday afternoon when we took Denise’s godson and his girlfriend into Rocky and around the area on a Moose search. We had been unsuccessful up until then in finding a Moose with them. When we took them to St Catherine of Sienna Chapel at St Malo’s, the doors were locked. However, we did find this yearling roaming around in the marsh. Even though it was snowing and cold, the peace, light, and life we experienced with this yearling (and with the Bull we saw crossing the road between St Malo’s and Eagle Plume Trading Post) was wonder-full.
This is Memorial Day weekend and I always seem to be more introspective than usual when it comes around. Perhaps it is because we are surrounded by visitors who come for the Park and for a three day weekend without thought to what the origins of this weekend are. I will likely write more about my thoughts surrounding Memorial Day when we walk into town where we can connect to WiFi since we cannot connect to that in our Condo either via our Cable/Internet provider or Verizon. Anyhow, here are the readings and the sermon from this morning. A very special thank you to our precious Sister Cheryl Anne for sharing her prayer this morning. Her blog is definitely a blessing to us (as she is also) and I highly recommend it to you, dear reader. She can be found here: Saint Brigid’s Hearth
First Scripture Reading – Revelation 21:10, 21:22-22:5
Second Scripture Reading – John 14:23-29

A beautiful prayer from the heart of my precious Sister ❤️❤️
Holy One,
Whose Ultimate Name is LOVE,
my heart is grieved today
as Your children; Sisters and Brothers All,
continue to war against each other
and kill for the sake of the lesser names
by which they know and call You...

Wisdom from Ronnie
Buried in “Section 4, Lot 2738-B” of Arlington National Cemetery is First Lieutenant William McBryar: Buffalo Soldier, Medal of Honor recipient, and veteran of multiple military campaigns. He was born a slave in the Carolinas just months before the Civil War began, the son of an African-American mother and a white, Scott-Irish father bearing my family name.

Thanks to lousy Verizon Network capabilities at the Condo (we are evidently at the end of the 1950’s style party-line) and zero WiFi and Cable via TDS because of the massive influx of visitors to Estes Park for the three day weekend, my blogging will be spotty at best. Even at 1:26 AM I cannot load a picture onto the blog… sigh…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
While it has been a long season in the Valley of the Shadows
Today began with the death of another dear member of our community
Today ended with a celebration of life and love
Celebrating the joy as this lovely couple begins a new phase of their life together
Now, as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
In the midst of so many journeys through the Valley of the Shadows
A visit to our dear friend in Hospice
In the midst of so much pain and sorrow
In the midst of it all
Tonight was a blessing and celebration of love and life
There was so much laughter and joy
As the Wedding party prepared for tomorrow
The groom safely returned from Afghanistan
The bride immersed in her calling as a nurse
Tomorrow they will begin a new adventure
Tomorrow life and light and love will be celebrated
For this precious couple beginning life together
For the family who is walking through the Valley of the Shadows
For them and for so many, I lift this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A day of meetings and consultations
Also a time of wonderful fellowship
The snow continues to fall
Is it really almost the end of May?
This sweet female Elk greeted me today
She wished me a peaceful evening
This evening was a time of rest and refreshment
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A long day of meetings and appointments
In the midst of it all
Discernment, prayer, support, love
Lord, may the healing and wholeness process continue
I thank you for many friends
Who walk with us, love us, and support us
So many prayers to be lifted this night
Now, as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Wisdom from Ronnie!
Last month, the Reverend Chu Yiu-ming, at age 75, made an appearance in a Hong Kong court room to defend himself against the charge of being “a nuisance to the public,” along with a number of additional subversive accusations….
