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

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.

Rosemary’s Blessing  

Revel in a friendly smile,

Grasp the offered hand, warm and strong,

And with your best love be reconciled.

 Watch the clouds march across the sky

As you come from your daily labor,

Your heart open for surprise

 And may the God of surprises

Who filled the world with wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
