Rosemary's Blessing: 

May we pray during this graced season of  Lent when we are called to deepen our  awareness of our constant connectedness with God, with all people and with all that exists.

Acknowledging the pain and hurt that comes when we act as if we are disconnected, let us begin this Lenten journey willing to heal, to mend and to be God’s human expression  of love, forgiveness and justice as Jesus taught and modeled for us.

From a letter from Sister Jean Amore, CSJ Vice-President, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, New York

Rosemary's Blessing:

Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure.
Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.
Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.
And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.
