Rosemary's Blessing:                            

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

What's not OK in me? 

What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Rosemary's Blessing

 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

 Another fresh new year is here …
     Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
     To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
     To live each day with zest …
To daily grow and try to be
     My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
     Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
     And sing more joyful songs!
