Rosemary's Blessing:    

Grant us, Lord God,

A vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

A world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor;

A world where the riches of creation are 

shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

A world where different races and cultures

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

A world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

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…
