Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

May the day never burden.

May dawn find hope in your heart,

Approaching your new  day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.

And may you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

God,
Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them
and anyone that I have promised to pray for.
Bless anyone that I cannot get along with
And anyone that cannot get along with me.
Bless the person who has hurt me deeply
and anyone that I have hurt.
Bless the person that I cannot forgive
and anyone that cannot forgive me.
Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today
and to treat all I meet today with dignity.

Rosemary’s Blessing

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.
