RESURRECTION INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY SHARES A BLESSING FOR REV. DONNA ROUGEUX, ARCWP, AS SHE PREPARES FOR SURGERY


Loving God, we come to you with faithful, heart-felt concern for our treasured woman priest Donna, who faces surgery this week.  We ask Your help for her to deal with the emotional, physical, and social aspects of the suffering she has experienced and will experience during her weeks of recovery. 
We pledge the support of our Christ-Sophia centered community for Donna, and send her with blessings and prayers from all of us.  She is so important to our fledgling spiritual community, and we need her to be back with us with Janice again next month.  We profess our faith witness to You, and know that You understand our concern for her whole person, body and spirit.
By this anointing with blessed oil, we thank you for Jesus showing us the value of precious care of the sick in body, mind, and spirit. We do this in memory of St. Mary of Magdala who anointed your feet with precious oils, and your broken body for your burial.  We know that only through following Your way of peace, justice, love and acceptance of every person in our world will we come to know true peace in our lives.  Holy Mother Mary, we ask you to walk beside Donna, as you walked with Jesus to Calvary, while her hips heal and she is able to walk with us once again.
We thank Our Father Mother profoundly for all your assistance as we journey through life, and appreciate our Loving God who empowers us to give voices to the sick, the poor, the disenfranchised, for your Love knows no bounds. Amen

  1. "We thank Our Father Mother"

    I seem to recall Jesus using the words "Our Father." Then again, you'll probably allege that Jesus originally said "Father Mother" but the male hierarchy changed these words in the Middle Ages.

  2. These were the actual words of Jesus the Nazarene:

    "Our Father, Who art in doctrine,
    Hallowed be Thy appendage.
    Thy maledom come.
    Thy will be done on women as it is on child victims.
    Give us this day our daily dread.
    Investigate us for helping the poor while money is laundered,
    And lead us not into correctional facilities,
    But deliver us from women."
