Rosemary's Blessing

When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
then the work of Christmas begins:

Lord, help us

to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…

Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman

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
