Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to

     go about doing good,

Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to  

     bless all people now.

Loving God,

You who dwell in our hearts,

make for us a cave there

at every moment of our lives

with new clarity and new courage,

with new faith and new urgency.
