    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    Here is the quirky prayer said to be recited each day by Pope Francis and written by St. Thomas Moore reminding us to live joyfully.  It is said Thomas Moore was known for his humor and was also a man not appreciated during his lifetime.

     

    Prayer to live Joyfully:

    Grant me, O Lord good digestion and also something to digest.

    Grant me,O Lord a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.

    Grant me a simple soul that knows no boredom, grumblings, sighs or laments.

    Grant me, O Lord, a sense of humor.

    Allow me grace to be able to take a joke–to discover in life a bit of Joy and to be able to share it with others.

    Amen
