Rosemary's Blessing: 

Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem,

Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives.

Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.

Take Time to be Aware … Edward Hays, A Pilgrim’s Almanac, p. 196

Rosemary’s Blessing

Grant us, Lord God,

A vision of your world as your love would have it: 

A world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor; 

A world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

A world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect; 

A world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May we pray during this graced season of  Lent when we are called to deepen our  awareness of our constant connectedness with God, with all people and with all that exists.

Acknowledging the pain and hurt that comes when we act as if we are disconnected, let us begin this Lenten journey willing to heal, to mend and to be God’s human expression  of love, forgiveness and justice as Jesus taught and modeled for us.
