Rosemary's Blessing

Love changes everything and everyone, and when we love, “love never lets us be the same.” With every thought and act of love we change ourselves and others.

As we learn from Jesus, love is a people thing. It’s personal, individual and unique. No one can do the work of love for me. There’s no app, website or program. We just have to do it. With each loving thought, word and deed, we bring about the Realm of God right here and right now. Sometimes it’s sweet and patient; sometimes it takes us out of our comfort zone, takes courage and can be exhausting.

From  A Lenten Reflection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ

    When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
    then the work of Christmas begins:

    Lord, help us

    to find the lost,
    to heal those broken in spirit,
    to feed the hungry,
    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Dear Lord, please give me
    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;
    A work to do which has real value,
    without which the world would be the poorer;
    A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;
    A sense of humor;
    Time for quiet, silent meditation;
    The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
    Amen.
