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.

    The Kiss of Peace


    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans.
    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy.
    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter.
    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw.
    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    it’s all a matter of surrender.
    this one truth i’ve come to know.
    nothing can be taken from you
    once you’re willing to let go.

    all the riches we have gathered
    all the treasure that we seek,
    all the earth and sky and oceans,
    have been promised to the meek.

    so, dance within the tune allotted,
    whether it be brief or long,
    pausing not to mark the measures;
    rejoicing ever in the song.
