Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God…

Give us hearts
where all may enter in,
ears to hear your call,
hands to do your will,
voices to sing your praise
and soul enough
to recognize You
in everything we do.

Taken from The Prayer for Those Who Dwell In A Monastery of the Heart by Joan Chittister

Rosemary's Blessing:   

May the sun bring you new energy by day

May the moon softly restore you by night

May the rain wash away your worries

May the breeze blow new strength into your being

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty

all the days of your life.

 Apache Blessing

Heard of Locks of Love?  This seems to be where it began.  A lock is secured to the chain link fence, the key is thrown in the river, and your relationship will never be broken.

Trouble was, the weight of the locks was breaking down the bridge, the Bridge of Art, Paris, over the Seine with the Louvre on the opposite side. 

So, the locks had to come off and those red & white plywood panels were put up.  Locks are only on the edges, like in the picture.  The Locks of Love idea has spread everywhere in Europe.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.

We are to work with it.

Rosemary's Blessing

Valentine  Gift of Love

Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:

Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,

Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,

Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.

Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,

So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,

Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.

Ken Philipps
