Father,

We thank you for our political freedom. 

Help us never to take it for granted and to strive that freedom

be experienced by everyone in our land, 

especially the poor and the oppressed  and eventually  by all mankind.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Gethsemane by Mary Oliver

    The grass never sleeps.
    Or the roses.
    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.

    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.

    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.

    Jesus said, wait with me.

    And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn’t move,
    maybe the lake far away, where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.

    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
    so utterly human, knowing this too
    must be a part of the story.

    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.
