Rosemary's Blessing

Lord of all,

Bless our families.

Be they formed by blood or by circumstance,

Make them holy.

May we find you

In our relationships.

In our marriages, in our families, in our households, in our communities, in our global humanity.

May we look across all that divides us

And see family, and embrace as a family does, and love as a family ought to.

For where two or three gather in your name. There are you.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

This Christmas

let us make visible God's love,

forgiveness, compassion and generosity

in our thoughts, words and actions. 

Like the Shepherds and Kings,

let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives
