Rosemary's Blessing

 Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

From  A Lenten Reflection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ

Rosemary's Blessing

This Christmas

let us make visible God's love,

forgiveness, compassion and generosity

in our thoughts, words and actions. 

Like the Shepherds and Kings,

let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives
