Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Here is a prayer said to be written by St. Thomas Moore reminding us to live joyfully.  

Prayer to live Joyfully:

Grant me, O Lord good digestion and also something to digest.

Grant me, O Lord a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.

Grant me a simple soul that knows no boredom, grumblings, sighs or laments.

Grant me, O Lord, a sense of humor.

Allow me grace to be able to take a joke–to discover in life a bit of Joy and to be able to share it with others.

Amen

Mike reading from the Great Prophet Isaiah (3)
