Rosemary’s Blessing

 

May I have the courage today

To live the life that I would love,

To postpone my dream no longer

But do at last what I came here for

And waste my heart on fear no more.

Rosemary's Blessing

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slower

And to grow each day in hope and trust,

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;
A sense of humor;
Time for quiet, silent meditation;
The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
Amen.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

Blessed be your name forever,

Amen.

 

Rabbi Andrew M. Paley, senior rabbi with Temple Shalom, Dallas.

So sorry, Brent, we are out of cupcakes.  However, this check is for the marvelous work you do with Souls Harbor.   I am only disappointed that it is not quite up to our hoped for goal of $2000 per month.
