    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    Humankind, full of all creative possibilities,

    is God’s work.

    Humankind alone is called to assist God.

    Humankind is called to co-create.

    With nature’s help,

    humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life-sustaining.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    Let us pray to our God,

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

    May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

    May our hands never harm a living being.

    May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

    May our tongue speak to those who are poor

    Without fear of the powerful.

    May our prayers rise with patient discontent

    Until no child is hungry.

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference

    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.

    Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
    1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
    Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I was regretting the past
    And fearing the future.
    Suddenly my Lord was speaking
    “My name is I AM.”

    He paused.  I waited
    He continued,

    “When you live in the past
    With its mistakes and regrets,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WAS.

    “When you live in the future,
    With its problems and fears,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WILL BE.

    “When you live in this moment,
    It is not hard. I am here.
    My name is I AM.”

    May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

    And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

    May you learn to walk a little bit slower

    And to grow each day in hope and trust,

    And may the God of new beginnings

    Grant you a week of love and peace.
