Rosemary’s Blessing:  A Prayer for Easter Sunday (from A Book of Irish American Blessings and Prayers by Andrew Greeley)

Oh God who bestows life prodigous and of whose abundant graciousness the rabbit and the egg and the lily are symbols, renew our life of faith on this morning of joy and help us to sing the alleluia with confidence and hope that some day, just like Jesus, we too will rise again.  We ask this in the name of the Risen Jesus.

    Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
    1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
    Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I was regretting the past
    And fearing the future.
    Suddenly my Lord was speaking
    “My name is I AM.”

    He paused.  I waited
    He continued,

    “When you live in the past
    With its mistakes and regrets,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WAS.

    “When you live in the future,
    With its problems and fears,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WILL BE.

    “When you live in this moment,
    It is not hard. I am here.
    My name is I AM.”

    I Am by Helen Mallicoat

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    Did I offer peace today?

    Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

    Did I say words of healing?

    Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

    Did I forgive?

    Did I love?

    There are the real questions.

    I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now

    will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
