Rosemary’s Blessing:   A Blessing for the Day (Adapted from a blessing by Andrew Greeley)

May the God of the dawn awaken you;  May the God of sunrise stir you up;  May the God of morning bless your work;   May the God of noon renew your strength;  May the God of sunset bring you home;  May the God of dusk soothe your soul;  May the God of night bring you rest.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

    And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

    May you learn to walk a little bit slower

    And to grow each day in hope and trust,

    And may the God of new beginnings

    Grant you a week of love and peace.
