Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

Enable us to grow in the Benedictine spirit

In ways that make us

Compassionate co-creators of a world in process,

Creative keepers of the human community,

Loving listeners to the heartbeat of the world,

Caring sisters and brothers to its wounded

And bringers of peace to a world in distress.

 

Taken from The Prayer for Those Who Dwell in the Monastery of the Heart by Joan Chittister

    Rosemary’s Blessing 

    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.

    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.
