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.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

Humankind, full of all creative possibilities,

is God’s work.

Humankind alone is called to assist God.

Humankind is called to co-create.

With nature’s help,

humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life-sustaining.
