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.

    May flowers always line your path

    and sunshine light your day.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    God of love, show us our place in this world
    as channels of your love
    for all the creatures of this earth,
    for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.
    Enlighten those who possess power and money
    that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
    that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
    and care for this world in which we live.
    The poor and the earth are crying out.
    O Lord, seize us with our power and light,
    help us to protect all life,
    to prepare for a better future,
    for the coming of your Kingdom
    of justice, peace, love and beauty.
    Praise be to you!
    Amen.
