Rosemary's Blessing of The Week
The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

Rosemary's Blessing:
A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully
Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.
Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.
I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.
Amen.
15th Century Nun's Prayer
Our Special Thanks:

Rosemary's Blessing:
May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.
May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.
May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.
And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.
Amen.
From a prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.
