Rosemary’s Blessing

 HOPI PRAYER…..
of The Soul's Graduation:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

May flowers always line your path

and sunshine light your day.

May songbirds serenade you

every step along the way

May a rainbow run beside you

in a sky that's always blue.

And may happiness fill your heart

each day your whole life through.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Let us pray to our God,

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

May our hands never harm a living being.

May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

May our tongue speak to those who are poor

Without fear of the powerful.

May our prayers rise with patient discontent

Until no child is hungry.

Taken and adapted from a prayer by Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB for Pax Christi USA in commemoration of the United Nations International Decade for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World.
