Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

A Family Blessing

 

Lord of all,

Bless our families,

Be they formed by blood or by circumstance,

Make them holy.

May we find you in our relationships.

In our marriages, in our families,

In our households, in our communities,

In our  global  humanity.

May we look across all that divides us

And see family,

And embrace as a family does.

And love as a family ought to.

For where two or three gather in your name,

There you are in the midst.

There indeed are you,

The one for whom we long so deeply.

Amen.
