    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,

    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

     

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men

    you have given to us in our lives.

     

    Support them in their call

    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

     

    May their witness of faith and love

    shine from them and on their children and families

    giving hope and encouragement to all.

     

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.

    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

     

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches

    who have shown us love and support.

     

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,

    give them your loving touch of healing

    consoling them with your gentle care.

     

    For those fathers who have gone before us,

    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;

    bring them the fullness of union with you

    and communion with us as we remember their love for us. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:
     

    What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

    Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

    Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

    Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

     

    What good did it do to be grouchy today?

    Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

    Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

    Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

     

    If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

    If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

    If it doesn’t assist you, it isn’t worth while:

    Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

    Acts of the Apostles 2Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

    1 Corinthians 12:  To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

    John 20:  Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
