Isaiah 55:  I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David.
Romans 8:   What will separate us from the love of Christ?   Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?   No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.
Matthew 43:  But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”  Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.  Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.  They all ate and were satisfied,

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number
Animals and plants, and microbes beyond count,
And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,
Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this
week as you have been to us.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

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

Rosemary’s Blessing

 HOPI PRAYER…..
of The Soul's Graduation:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

Loving Father…

Often we forget those who struggle –

Those whose greatest need

is lost among our riches.

Help us to look again,

to see through your eyes.

You gave so freely.

Help us freely give.

Amen

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas,

Keep me from rushing through the season, but missing the Way …

From decorating the tree, but missing the Light …

From wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.
