Rosemary's Blessing:   

Revel in a friendly Smile

Grasp the offered Hand, warm and strong

And with your best Love be reconciled.

Watch the Clouds march across the Sky

As You come from your daily Labor

Your Heart open for Surprise.

And may the God of Surprises

Who filled the World with Wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Rosemary's Blessing

Loving God,

As I journey into the unknown territory of a new year…

As I hurt in the process of loving those I dislike or find difficult…

As I learn to accept my strengths, weaknesses and mistakes…

As I keep searching for the truth in times of confusion, doubt and conflict…

As I try to be a voice for the voiceless and powerless…

As I strive to live and witness your inclusive love, compassion, forgiveness, justice and peace…

As I do the work of the Christmas message and make Christ visible to others…

Walk closely with me, my God.

 

Taken from A New Year’s Prayer by Sister Jean Amore CSJ, Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, NY
