Rosemary's Blessing: 

 May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;

Count your gains not your losses.

Count your joys not your woes;

Count your friends not your foes.

Count your health not your wealth;

And love your neighbor as much as yourself. 

An Irish Blessing

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

 

Did I offer peace today?

Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

Did I say words of healing?

Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

Did I forgive?

Did I love?

There are the real questions.

I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now

will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.

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
