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.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

I was regretting the past

And fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking

“My name is I AM.”

 

He paused.  I waited

He continued,

 

 

 

 

 

John reading from Jonah.

 

 

“When you live in the past

With its mistakes and regrets,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

 

“When you live in the future,

With its problems and fears,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

 

“When you live in this moment,

It is not hard. I am here.

My name is I AM.”

 

I Am by Helen Mallicoat

Rosemary's Blessing:

Help us to look again,

to see through your eyes.

You gave so freely.

Help us freely give.
