Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you

are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born

of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on

the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

Saint Therese of Liseaux

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

Lord

Enlighten what’s dark in me,

Strengthen what’s weak in me,

Mend what’s broken in me,

Bind what’s bruised in me,

Heal what’s sick in me,

And lastly,

Revive whatever peace and love

Has died in me.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Rosemary's Blessing:

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.
