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:   A Dakota Indian Prayer (thanks to Lou Federico)

Grandfather, Great Spirit, you have been always. and before you nothing has been.  There is no one to pray to but you.  The star nations all over the heavens are yours,  and yours are the grasses of the earth.  You are older than all need, older than all pain and prayer.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, look upon your children.  The Spirit Lake Oyate, that they may face the winds and walk the good road to the day of quiet.

Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with the light.  Give us with the light.  Give us the strength to understand and eyes to see.  Teach us to walk, the soft earth, as relatives, to all that live.

Help us, for without you we are nothing.

Rosemary's Blessing

A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen.

17^th Century Nun’s Prayer
