Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

Enable us to grow in the Benedictine spirit

In ways that make us

Compassionate co-creators of a world in process,

Creative keepers of the human community,

Loving listeners to the heartbeat of the world,

Caring sisters and brothers to its wounded

And bringers of peace to a world in distress.

Taken from The Prayer for Those Who Dwell in the Monastery of the Heart by Joan Chittister

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to
go about doing good,
Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
bless all people now.
