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

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…

 

Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman
