Rosemary's Blessing:

On this third Sunday of Advent,

As Isaiah paints an extraordinary picture of the coming of our God,

May we stop, be still and listen

To Emmanuel as he comes.

     Rosemary's Blessing:

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

     Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    Bern 5-22-11 

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

     Seventeenth Century Nun’s Prayer

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    Slow me down, Lord; I am going too fast,

    I can’t see my brother as he goes past;

    I miss a lot of good things day by day,

    I don’t know blessings when they come my way.

     

    Slow me down, Lord so I can see

    More of the things that are good for me;

    A little less of me, a mile more of you,

    Let Heavenly atmosphere trickle thru,

     

    Let me help a brother when the going’s rough,

    When folks work together, things aren’t so tough;

    Slow me down, Lord; so that I can talk

    With more of your angels … slow me down to a walk.

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.

    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.
