Rosemary's Blessing
When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
then the work of Christmas begins:
Lord, help us
to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…
Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman
