Rosemary's Blessing:     

 May you hear the voice of God

In the raging storm and in the quiet breeze

In the loving whisper and in the angry cry

And may the God of invitations, surprises and mysteries

Bless you and guide you always.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

           

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.
