Rosemary's Blessing: 

Let us pray to our God,

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

May our hands never harm a living being.

May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

May our tongue speak to those who are poor

Without fear of the powerful.

May our prayers rise with patient discontent

Until no child is hungry.

Taken and adapted from a prayer by Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB for Pax Christi USA in commemoration of the United Nations International Decade for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World.

Good News from Mexico: I talked with Karina Saturday night and she says she has set up her little pharmacy in Cuernavaca and it is going well. Unfortunately, a couple of days ago she fell in the street and broke her polio brace. Her mother, Maria Luisa, whose cancer seems to be in remission, has worked the pharmacy while Karina stayed home to recuperate. Monday she hopes to return to work. Our seed money seems to be bearing fruit.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa
