Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you

are exactly where you are meant to be.

 

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born

of faith in yourself and others.

 

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on

the love that has been given to you.

 

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

 

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your

soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

 

It is there for each and every one of us.

 

Saint Therese of Liseaux

Rosemary’s Blessing:

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed”

Found on the body of a Confederate Soldier in the Civil War

Rosemary’s Blessing: 

May God grant you the strength and faith to …

Count your blessings not your crosses; Count your gains not your losses;  Count your joys not your woes; Count your friends not your foes;  Count your smiles not your tears; Count your courage not your fears; Count your full years not your lean; Count your kind deeds not your mean; Count your health not your wealth; And love your neighbor as much as yourself.
