Rosemary's Blessing:    

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.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

… 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.
