Rosemary’s Blessing

 Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number,

 Animals and plants and microbes beyond count,

 And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,

 Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this

 week as you have been to us.

Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
 Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

“Rivers do not drink their own water;
trees do not eat their own fruit;
the sun does not shine on itself
and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are born to help each other.
No matter how difficult it is.
Life is good when you are happy
but much better when others are happy because of you.
Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
problems are a sign that we are strong and
prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
If we can acknowledge these truths and
condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
be more meaningful,
different and
worthwhile.” 

Pope Francis

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Loving Father…

Often we forget those who struggle –

Those whose greatest need

is lost among our riches.

Help us to look again,

to see through your eyes.

You gave so freely.

Help us freely give.

Amen
