2 Chronicles 36: Whoever, therefore, among you belongs to any part of his people, let him go up, and may his God be with him!”

Ephesians 2For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; . . .

John 3: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

Rosemary's Blessing:
 

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    May the blessing of the rain be on you—
    the soft sweet rain.
    May it fall upon your spirit
    so that all the little flowers may spring up,
    and shed their sweetness on the air.
    May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
    may they beat upon your spirit
    and wash it fair and clean,
    and leave there many a shining pool
    where the blue of heaven shines,
    and sometimes a star.

    Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.

    Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

    Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

    May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake.

    Amen.
