Rosemary's Blessing

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slower

And to grow each day in hope and trust,

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 May the Lord grant you              

           A tolerance for those who don’t agree with you,

           A refusal to judge others,

           A willingness to forgive,

           A calm and hopeful spirit in the midst of anxieties,

           And a holy anger for injustice in the world.

  From Seven Sacred Pauses by Macrina Wiederkehr

Exodus 17:  Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on.  Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.

2 Timothy 3:  Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, . . .

Luke 18:  For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’”
