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

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

     no hands but yours,

     no feet but yours,

Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

     compassion is to look out to the world,

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to

     go about doing good,

Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to  

     bless all people now.

From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

 

 

 

Mary, who read the Beautiful Isaiah.

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.
