Rosemary's Blessing:     May you …

• Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ's birth in ancient Bethlehem, Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives. 
• Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.

 Rosemary’s Blessing: 

Blessing For All Souls Day

Lord, support us all the day long,

until the shadows lengthen,

and the evening comes,

and the busy world is hushed,

and the fever of life is over,

Then in your mercy,

grant us a safe lodging,

and a holy rest,

and peace at the last.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

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,

 

 

 

 

 

John reading from Jonah.

 

 

“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
