Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive.

Hildegard of Bingen

 Rosemary’s Blessing: 

Blessing For All Souls Day

Lord, support us all the day long,

until the shadows lengthen,

and the evening comes,

and the busy world is hushed,

grant us a safe lodging,

and a holy rest,

and peace at the last.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

Enable us to grow in the Benedictine spirit

In ways that make us

Compassionate co-creators of a world in process,

Creative keepers of the human community,

Loving listeners to the heartbeat of the world,

Caring sisters and brothers to its wounded

And bringers of peace to a world in distress.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed”

Found on the body of a Confederate Soldier in the Civil War
