Rosemary's Blessing 

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this    Christmas. 

Keep me from rushing through the season,                    but missing the Way . . .

from decorating the tree, but missing the Light . . .

from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week

 May you use the gifts that you have received, and

    pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow

    your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

From a prayer by St. Terese of Liseaux

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

Lord

Enlighten what’s dark in me,

Strengthen what’s weak in me,

Mend what’s broken in me,

Bind what’s bruised in me,

Heal what’s sick in me,

And lastly,

Revive whatever peace and love

Has died in me.

Amen.
