Rosemary's Blessing:          

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity

 We thank you for the turning of the seasons

 and the long days and the short nights,

 for blessing us with summertime,

with sunlight and heat, and with sand and surf.

Grant that we may use well our summer respite

 and protect us and all those we love this summer.
