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 my living simple.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    What Is Success

    by Ralph Waldo Emerson

     

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

    Hi, Emma, Happy Easter

     

     

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God

    you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

     

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like

    God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.
