Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

Who called us forth from dust and breathed into us the soul of Life and a Hunger for Immortality and for You,

Help us to remember that not only are We made from Dust and will return to Dust, but that We are also destined to rise again and live forever in Glory with You.

Rosemary's Blessing

Loving Father,

often we forget your gifts to us,

letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Amen

A sense of humor;
Time for quiet, silent meditation;
The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
Amen.
