2 Kings 5:  Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of Elisha, the man of God.  His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean of his leprosy.
2 Timothy 2:   Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory.
 Luke 17:  “Ten were cleansed, were they not?  Where are the other nine?  Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s
compassion is to look out to the world,
Yours are the feet with which Christ is to
go about doing good,
Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
bless all people now.

From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

    The Kiss of Peace


    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Be the One

    Jesus, thank you for loving me so much.
    Help me to love others as you do.
    When someone is lonely, help me to be the one to be kind.
    When others are left out, help me to be the one to include them.
    When someone is sad, help me be the one to bring joy.
    Show me your face in every person I meet.
    Let me be the one to console You and my neighbor,
    with kindness, a smile, prayers and love.
    Give me courage to “be the one”
    who builds up the body of Christ today. Amen.

    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 actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

    May our hands never harm a living being.

    May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

    May our tongue speak to those who are poor

    Without fear of the powerful.

    May our prayers rise with patient discontent

    Until no child is hungry.
