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

What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

 

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

 

If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

 Rosemary’s Blessing: 

Blessing For All Souls Day

Lord, support us all the day long,

until the shadows lengthen,

and the evening comes,

and the busy world is hushed,

and the fever of life is over,

and our work is done.

Then in your mercy,

grant us a safe lodging,

and a holy rest,

and peace at the last.
