Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

Enable us to grow in the Benedictine spirit

In ways that make us

Compassionate co-creators of a world in process,

Creative keepers of the human community,

Loving listeners to the heartbeat of the world,

Caring sisters and brothers to its wounded

And bringers of peace to a world in distress.
