  Rosemary's Blessing

As Lazarus came forth alive from the tomb,

May we too, come forth from the tombs which bind and hold us.

May we be filled with the life and blessings

That nourish and fulfill ourselves and each other.

To live the life that I would love,

Grant us, Lord God,

A vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

A world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor;

shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

A world where different races and cultures

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

A world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

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…

Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman
