Rosemary’s Blessing:

Dear Lord, please give me
A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

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.

O Lord, you mark the journey of life with change. Once again we witness your creation moving from one season to the other. Change is your instrument of growth that brings us to a deeper relationship with you. May your Word be the lantern that guides the roads of change in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
