Rosemary's Blessing: Oh, Lord,

I am one worn out tired Branch,

And I need the newness of the Vine of You

To start the Hope-Life running through the Streams of Me again.

Lord, be my Vine and I’ll be your Branch.

Rosemary's Blessing

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

Saint Terese of Liseaux

Grasp the offered Hand, warm and strong

Who filled the World with Wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

“Rivers do not drink their own water;
trees do not eat their own fruit;
the sun does not shine on itself
and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are born to help each other.
No matter how difficult it is.
Life is good when you are happy
but much better when others are happy because of you.
Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
problems are a sign that we are strong and
prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
If we can acknowledge these truths and
condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
be more meaningful,
different and
worthwhile.” 

Pope Francis
