Rosemary’s Blessing:

• Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings each morning, thank you, Lord, that I can hear.  There are those who are deaf.
• Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you Lord, that I can see.  There are many who are blind.
• Even though I huddle in my bed and put off the effort of rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.  There are many who are bedridden.
• Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, thank you, Lord for my family.  There are many who are lonely.
• Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in the magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have.  There are many who are hungry.
• Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.  There are many who have no job.
• Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day, and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you , Lord, for the gift of life.

Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
 Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

“Rivers do not drink their own water;
trees do not eat their own fruit;
the sun does not shine on itself
and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are born to help each other.
No matter how difficult it is.
Life is good when you are happy
but much better when others are happy because of you.
Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
problems are a sign that we are strong and
prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
If we can acknowledge these truths and
condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
be more meaningful,
different and
worthwhile.” 

Pope Francis
