Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

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.

Rosemary's Blessing:

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.

May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.

May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.

And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.

Amen.

From a  prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.
