Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

Faithful and loving God, you have lavished us with love.

On our difficult days

help us to remember that you are a refuge for those who need shelter and a comfort for those who feel empty and poor in spirit.

On our joyful days,

fill us with a deep sense of thanksgiving as we experience your everlasting love.

Help us to share your graciousness, your abundant generosity, with all those who need a touch of generous love. Amen.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans.
Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy.
Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter.
Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw.
You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger
