Rosemary's Blessing:                            

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

What's not OK in me? 

What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

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.

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.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing:   

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;  

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.
