    Rosemary's Blessing

    May God grant you the strength and faith to

    Count your blessings, not your crosses;
    Count your gains not your losses.
    Count your joys not your woes;
    Count your friends not your foes.
    Count your smiles not your tears;
    Count your courage not your fears.
    Count your health not your wealth;
    And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    Grant us, Lord God,

     

    a vision of your world as your

    love would have it: 

     

    a world where the weak are protected,

    and none go hungry or poor; 

     

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

     

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

     

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

     

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

     

    Amen.

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “Rivers do not drink their own water;
    trees do not eat their own fruit;
    the sun does not shine on itself
    and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
    Living for others is a rule of nature.
    We are born to help each other.
    No matter how difficult it is.
    Life is good when you are happy
    but much better when others are happy because of you.
    Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
    problems are a sign that we are strong and
    prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
    If we can acknowledge these truths and
    condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
    be more meaningful,
    different and
    worthwhile.” 

    Pope Francis

    May we pray during this graced season of  Lent when we are called to deepen our  awareness of our constant connectedness with God, with all people and with all that exists.

    Acknowledging the pain and hurt that comes when we act as if we are disconnected, let us begin this Lenten journey willing to heal, to mend and to be God’s human expression  of love, forgiveness and justice as Jesus taught and modeled for us.
