Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

Slow me down, Lord; I am going too Fast,

I can't see my Brother as he goes past;

I miss a lot of good things day by day,

I don't know Blessings when they come my way.    

Slow me down, Lord, so I can see 

More of the things that are good for me;  

A little less of me, a mile more of You 

Let Heavenly Atmosphere trickle thru, 

Let me help a Brother when the going's Rough, 

When Folks work together, things aren't so Tough. 

Slow me down, Lord, so that I can Talk 

With more of Your Angels…Slow me down to a Walk

    Rosemary's Blessing:   

    May you treasure wisely this jeweled, gilded time

    And cherish each day as an extra grace

    Whose heedless loss would be a tragic crime

    In today’s tasks may you find God’s tender face

    And may the Lord of the Dance bless you

    As He invites you to the dance of the hollowed present.
