Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

You who dwell in our hearts,

make for us a cave there

in which to hear your voice more distinctly,

feel your care more tenderly,

understand your will more clearly,

and come to know your presence

at every moment of our lives

with new clarity and new courage,

with new faith and new urgency.

 Taken from The Prayer for Those Who Dwell I the Monastery of the Heart by Joan Chittister
