The last rose of summer


 Gospel for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary time.

Gospel Jn 6:41-51

The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said,
"I am the bread that came down from heaven,"
and they said,
"Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph?
Do we not know his father and mother?
Then how can he say,
'I have come down from heaven?'"
Jesus answered and said to them,
"Stop murmuring among yourselves.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,
and I will raise him on the last day.
It is written in the prophets:
They shall all be taught by God.
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father
except the one who is from God;
he has seen the Father.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
 The word of the Lord

Thanks be to God.

On Friday our yardman trimmed all the trees and bushes around our landscape.

Friday night HH brought this to me.

 
 "Honey here is the Last Rose of Summer. I saved it for you."


He is such a sweet man.






Yes the last of our Knockout Roses.
They had given us such pleasure and now they are ready to rest up for the next growing season.



Just as we rest in the words of Jesus forever.

Your knockout roses rest? Mine go all fall long. Too much heat or just the way of it in your corner?
