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.

    no hands but yours,
    no feet but yours,
    Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

    Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
    bless all people now.
