Rosemary’s Blessing:  

Oh, Heavenly Father, 

We thank you for food and remember the hungry.

We thank you for health and remember the sick.

We thank you for friends and remember the friendless.

We thank you for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May these remembrances stir us to service,

That your gifts to us may be used for others.

Amen.
