 Be my voice this day that the words I speak

    Dear Lord, please give me
    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;
    A work to do which has real value,
    without which the world would be the poorer;
    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

    Loving God,

    As I journey into the unknown territory of a new year…

    As I hurt in the process of loving those I dislike or find difficult…

    As I learn to accept my strengths, weaknesses and mistakes…

    As I keep searching for the truth in times of confusion, doubt and conflict…

    As I try to be a voice for the voiceless and powerless…

    As I strive to live and witness your inclusive love, compassion, forgiveness, justice and peace…

    As I do the work of the Christmas message and make Christ visible to others…

    Walk closely with me, my God.
