Rosemary's Blessing

Creator of all the world and lover of each of us,

• Help me to see the beauty with which you have surrounded me,
• The colors, the shades, the lights, the shadows, the shapes, the patterns,
• all the dazzling array of enchantments of the eye to which I usually pay so little attention.
• Help me to realize that I live in a many splendored land and
• to enjoy the splendors which you have given me.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
