Rosemary's Blessing

May we be blessed with the gift of contemplation

of the blessings we have received and then put

this appreciation into action to help others.

And may there always be someone on our life’s

journey to help us on your way.

    Deuteronomy 8:  He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.
    1 Corinthians 10:  The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?  The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
    John 6:  Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

    Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:
    Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,
    Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,
    Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.
    Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,
    So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,
    Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.

    Ephesians 3:  
    It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:  that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
    Matthew 2:  And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,  until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “A Franciscan Blessing”:

    MAY GOD BLESS YOU with discomfort,
    at easy answers, half-truths,
    and superficial relationships
    so that you may live
    deep within your heart.

    May God bless you with anger
    at injustice, oppression,
    and exploitation of people,
    so that you may work for
    justice, freedom and peace.

    May God bless you with tears,
    to shed for those who suffer pain,
    rejection, hunger, and war,
    so that you may reach out your hand
    to comfort them and
    to turn their pain to joy.

    And may God bless you
    with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can
    make a difference in the world,
    so that you can do
    what others claim cannot be done,
    to bring justice and kindness
    to all our children and the poor.

    Amen
