    Rosemary's Blessing:

    May you be poor in misfortune,
    Rich in blessings,
    Slow to make enemies,
    Quick to make friends,
    But rich or poor, quick or slow,
    May you know nothing but happiness
    From this day forward.

    Rosemary's Blessing of the Week

    Grant us, Lord God,

     

    a vision of your world as your

    love would have it: 

    a world where the weak are protected,

    and none go hungry or poor; 

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

     

    Amen.
