Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!

shared, and everyone can enjoy them;

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

 

a world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

 

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
