    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 spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and our living simple.

    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.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

    Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

    Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

    Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

    You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

    Lord

    Enlighten what’s dark in me,

    Strengthen what’s weak in me,

    Mend what’s broken in me,

    Bind what’s bruised in me,

    Heal what’s sick in me,

    And lastly,

    Revive whatever peace and love

    Has died in me.

    Amen.

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    To laugh often and much;
    To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
    To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
    To appreciate beauty;
    To find the best in others;
    To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
    To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.
    This is to have succeeded.

    Success – Ralph Waldo Emerson
