Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

Looking behind I am filled with gratitude.

Looking forward I am filled with vision.

Looking upwards I am filled with strength.

Looking within I discover peace.

    Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem,

    Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives.

    Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    God of love, show us our place in this world
    as channels of your love
    for all the creatures of this earth,
    for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.
    Enlighten those who possess power and money
    that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
    that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
    and care for this world in which we live.
    The poor and the earth are crying out.
    O Lord, seize us with our power and light,
    help us to protect all life,
    to prepare for a better future,
    for the coming of your Kingdom
    of justice, peace, love and beauty.
    Praise be to you!
    Amen.
