2 Kings 5:  Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of Elisha, the man of God.  His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean of his leprosy.
2 Timothy 2:   Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory.
 Luke 17:  “Ten were cleansed, were they not?  Where are the other nine?  Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”

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.

From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

    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
