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.

Rosemary's Blessing:   

We end this meal with grace

For the joy and nourishment of food,

The slowed time away from the world

To come into presence with each other

We pray the wise spirit who keeps us

To change the structures that make others hunger

And that after such grace we might go forth

And impart dignity wherever we partake.
