Rosemary's Blessing: 

Father,

We thank you for our political freedom. 

Help us never to take it for granted and to strive that freedom

be experienced by everyone in our land, 

especially the poor and the oppressed  and eventually  by all mankind.

    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.

    Isaiah 42:  Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit;
    Acts of the Apostles 10: 
    Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
    in the house of Cornelius, saying:  “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
    Matthew 3: After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

    Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in our relationships, with the strength to help those who need our help and the humility and openness to accept help from others.
    As we make our resolutions for the year ahead, let us go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance.”
