Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God,

Let us sink into your Word,

Let us nourish it to life,

Let it lead us beyond the burdens of the day

So that we may become

The people you desire us to be.

Rosemary's Blessing:   

May you treasure wisely this jeweled, gilded time

And cherish each day as an extra grace

Whose heedless loss would be a tragic crime

In today’s tasks may you find God’s tender face

And may the Lord of the Dance bless you

As He invites you to the dance of the hollowed present.

Rosemary’s Blessing

 HOPI PRAYER…..
of The Soul's Graduation:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

May God give you…
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

An Irish Prayer
