Rosemary’s Blessing

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. 

St. Therese of Liseux

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

Isaiah 42:  Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit;
Acts of the Apostles 10: Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
in the house of Cornelius, saying:  “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
Matthew 3: After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Rosemary’s Blessing:

“A new year is unfolding—like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.
Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in our relationships, with the strength to help those who need our help and the humility and openness to accept help from others.
As we make our resolutions for the year ahead, let us go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance.”

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 Oh, Lord,

Lent goes by too quickly, as does my Life.

Help me to take advantage of all the opportunities You give Me.

Don't let me be so caught up in the Demands of the Day,

The Phone, the Doorbell, The Computer

That I lose Touch with You and the

Invitation to Love which You Always offer Me.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace,

And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

May you learn to walk a little bit slowly

And to grow each day in hope and trust.

And may the God of new beginnings

Grant you a week of love and peace.
