 Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

O Holy One,

Abide with us

In this hour,

In our rest,

In all the time that is ours

    in the year to come.

Let your blessing rest

Upon us, within us, around us

    in this moment and in

    all the moments to come.

In your name we pray.

A Blessing by Ken Phillips

    Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
    1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I was regretting the past
    And fearing the future.
    Suddenly my Lord was speaking
    “My name is I AM.”

    He paused.  I waited
    He continued,

    “When you live in the past
    With its mistakes and regrets,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WAS.

    “When you live in the future,
    With its problems and fears,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WILL BE.

    “When you live in this moment,
    It is not hard. I am here.
    My name is I AM.”
