    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.

    In connection with our First Blessing of The Men:

     

    Life is a circle; it's beginning is its end,

    Going on forever, beginning when time began.

     

    Enclosed within the circle is every thought of love, 

    Gliding on the winds of time, on the wings of a dove.

     

    In the center of the circle is the hardened core of hate,

    Bringing upon the wars of the world and may someday bring its fate.

     

    But then life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

    Going on forever beginning when time began.

     

     Life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

    As it was in the beginning it shall be again.
