Rosemary’s Blessing

 We are the instruments of God’s gentle, motherly embrace. 

Let us make of ourselves a sanctuary

where God’s motherly love can embrace at least one person

who is lost, lonely or forgotten in our world

amid their struggles and despair. 

Come Lord Jesus, work through me.

 Taken from a  prayer by Benedictine Sr. Diana Seago

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

Bless the Journey

 

May you see the way wherever the journey takes you, sailing safely over rough water and weathering the waves’ dips and crests

May you find treasure in Earth’s infinite variety, beauty and surprise

May you hear the ocean’s music in every shell you hold to your ear

May your boat fill with insight, laughter, generosity and love

as you discover new landscapes and explore the wide expanse of memory.

Navigator’s Blessing, by littlegoldboat
