Rosemary's Blessing

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us,

we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,

have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,

who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,

who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing

and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Henri J.M. Nouwen

    Rosemary’s Blessing 

    Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

         no hands but yours,

         no feet but yours,

    Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

         compassion is to look out to the world,

    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.

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.
