Rosemary's Blessing:  Dear God …

Draw me into the radiant glory of your presence and into the small lights of those with whom I live and work.  Inspire me to take time for those who are discouraged.  And may I live with the kind of presence that enables others to feel at home.  Seven Sacred Pauses by Macrina Wiederkehr

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    In recognition of Veterans' Day 11/11/16

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

     

    Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
