Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God…

Give us hearts
where all may enter in,
ears to hear your call,
hands to do your will,
voices to sing your praise
and soul enough
to recognize You
in everything we do.

Taken from The Prayer for Those Who Dwell In A Monastery of the Heart by Joan Chittister

Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

Slow me down, Lord; I am going too Fast,

I can't see my Brother as he goes past;

I miss a lot of good things day by day,

I don't know Blessings when they come my way.    

Slow me down, Lord, so I can see 

More of the things that are good for me;  

A little less of me, a mile more of You 

Let Heavenly Atmosphere trickle thru, 

Let me help a Brother when the going's Rough, 

When Folks work together, things aren't so Tough. 

Slow me down, Lord, so that I can Talk 

With more of Your Angels…Slow me down to a Walk         

  Special Thanks:

O Holy One,

Abide with us

In this hour,

In our rest,

In all the time that is ours

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

 May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.

May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.

May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.

And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.
