May you always follow your Inviting Star and watch not the bitter earth but the Starry Sky.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,
    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men
    you have given to us in our lives.

    Support them in their call
    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

    May their witness of faith and love
    shine from them and on their children and families
    giving hope and encouragement to all.

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.
    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches
    who have shown us love and support.

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,
    give them your loving touch of healing
    consoling them with your gentle care.

    For those fathers who have gone before us,
    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;
    bring them the fullness of union with you
    and communion with us as we remember their love for us.
    Amen.

    Dear Lord, please give me

    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

    A work to do which has real value,

         without which the world would be the poorer;

    A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

    A sense of humor;

    Time for quiet, silent meditation;

    The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
