Rosemary's Blessing:          

May the God of the dawn awaken you

May the God of sunrise stir you up

May the God of morning bless your work

May the God of noon renew your strength

May the God of sunset bring you home

May the God of dusk soothe your soul

May the God of night bring you rest.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

• Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings each morning, thank you, Lord, that I can hear.  There are those who are deaf.
• Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you Lord, that I can see.  There are many who are blind.
• Even though I huddle in my bed and put off the effort of rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.  There are many who are bedridden.
• Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, thank you, Lord for my family.  There are many who are lonely.
• Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in the magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have.  There are many who are hungry.
• Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.  There are many who have no job.
• Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day, and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you , Lord, for the gift of life.

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week,  

A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

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.

Scott reading from Genesis. 

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.

17^th Century Nun’s Prayer
