Rosemary's Blessing:
May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.
May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.
May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.
And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.
Amen.
From a prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.
