Rosemary’s Blessing

 We are the instruments of God’s gentle, motherly embrace. 

Let us make of ourselves a sanctuary

where God’s motherly love can embrace at least one person

who is lost, lonely or forgotten in our world

amid their struggles and despair. 

Come Lord Jesus, work through me.

 Taken from a  prayer by Benedictine Sr. Diana Seago

Mike reading Isaiah.

God,

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

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