Rosemary’s Blessing: 

May God grant you the strength and faith to …

Count your blessings not your crosses; Count your gains not your losses;  Count your joys not your woes; Count your friends not your foes;  Count your smiles not your tears; Count your courage not your fears; Count your full years not your lean; Count your kind deeds not your mean; Count your health not your wealth; And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
then the work of Christmas begins:

 Lord, help us …

to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…
