Rosemary’s Blessing      

May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

that are born of faith in yourself and others.

Good News from Mexico: I talked with Karina Saturday night and she says she has set up her little pharmacy in Cuernavaca and it is going well. Unfortunately, a couple of days ago she fell in the street and broke her polio brace. Her mother, Maria Luisa, whose cancer seems to be in remission, has worked the pharmacy while Karina stayed home to recuperate. Monday she hopes to return to work. Our seed money seems to be bearing fruit.

Rosemary's Blessing

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    and anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity
