Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

  

God of every nation and people, 

you have made known your light and love 

since the beginning of creation, 

and then to us through Jesus Christ.  

This Advent, may we be open to receiving 

your light and love in new ways 

and to witnessing in our world the unity, inclusivity, mercy and justice 

that Jesus so desires of us.    

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing

 Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!
