Rosemary's Blessing:  

 May the Lord grant you              

           A tolerance for those who don’t agree with you,

           A refusal to judge others,

           A willingness to forgive,

           A calm and hopeful spirit in the midst of anxieties,

           And a holy anger for injustice in the world.

Come, O Dancing God,

Spirit of Life and Love,

of Beauty and Diversity,

stir up my soul,

bathe me in your light,

and unleash my own spirit

Rosemary’s Blessing:

… 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.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

Humankind, full of all creative possibilities,

is God’s work.

Humankind alone is called to assist God.

Humankind is called to co-create.

With nature’s help,

humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life-sustaining.
