Rosemary’s Blessing

 God our father —  may everything we do be "first class."

Imprint your own loving "zip code"
upon our hearts 
in that we may never go astray.

 Provide in your gracious providence
"special handling" for those of us who are "fragile" 
and keep us in one piece.

 We have been
"signed, sealed, stamped, and delivered" 
in your image and likeness,
and we beg you to keep us in your care 
as we go about our "appointed rounds."

 And when our days draw to a close 
and we are marked "Return to Sender," 
be there to greet us at heaven's door 
so that nobody may ever say,
"unknown at this address."

 Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

From  A Lenten Reflection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ
