Rosemary’s Blessing:

God,
Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them
and anyone that I have promised to pray for.
Bless anyone that I cannot get along with
And anyone that cannot get along with me.
Bless the person who has hurt me deeply
and anyone that I have hurt.
Bless the person that I cannot forgive
and anyone that cannot forgive me.
Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today
and to treat all I meet today with dignity.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week,  

    Loving Father,

    often we forget your gifts to us,

    letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

    Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

    and give freely in response to what we see.

    Amen
