Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

 

Prayer of Gratitude

 

O Creator,

Awaken my heart

    to the miracle of life that surrounds me;

    the beauty of friendship, family, and community;

    and the knowledge that I am forever held in your love.

May I always remember to seek your grace in unexpected places,

filling me with joy and gratitude for your abundant blessings,

as I open myself to the Charity of Christ.

Amen

Rosemary's Blessing

Lord of all,

Bless our families.

Be they formed by blood or by circumstance,

Make them holy.

 

May we find you

In our relationships.

In our marriages, in our families, in our households, in our communities, in our global humanity.

 

May we look across all that divides us

And see family, and embrace as a family does, and love as a family ought to.

 

For where two or three gather in your name. There are you.

Amen.
