Note: No minutes to approve on this first meeting of the year

Gracious God,

Give us a heart for simple things:

love and laughter,

bread and wine,

tales and dreams.

Fill our hearts with green growing hope and selfless charity.

Make us women of service, giving to others the gifts God has given us.

Help us to share generously and open ourselves to gifts which are given to us.

We ask this in the name of Mary, our Mother,

whose sign is peace and whose name breathes love.

Amen.

Building Community Through Conversation

The Lord bless you and keep you!

The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!

The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!

consolation for the afflicted protection for the abandoned, a spirit of

generosity for the rich, grace of conversion for sinners, zeal for priests,

peace for the Church, tranquility and order for all nations, and

salvation for them all.

May we be united in the life to come, by your intercession, and

experience joy, gladness, and everlasting happiness. Amen.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the pure of heart,

for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.

MATTHEW 5:3-12

A FEW IDEAS FOR LIVING THE BEATITUDES• Offering your daily prayers, sacrifices, and ordinary works for the sanctification and

fortification of someone else.• Volunteering your time in service of the marginalized. • Seeking out marginalized voices and perspectives to inform your point of view.• Supporting Martha’s Ministry.• Truly forgiving someone who has wronged you or someone you love.• Doing good acts without expecting a reward or recognition in return.• Reuniting with a family member with whom you haven’t spoken in decades.

PERSONAL REFLECTIONHow do live the Beatitudes now? And how can you live them more fully in the future?
