Rosemary's 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 are you.

Amen.

 

A Family Blessing from CRS (Catholic Relief Services)

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

        O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry; 
        When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless; 
        When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all; 
        When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer, 
        And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.

    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

    Isaiah 8: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils.
    1 Corinthians 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
    Matthew 4: … Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    I was regretting the past
    And fearing the future.
    Suddenly my Lord was speaking
    “My name is I AM.”

    He paused.  I waited
    He continued,

    “When you live in the past
    With its mistakes and regrets,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WAS.

    “When you live in the future,
    With its problems and fears,
    It is hard.  I am not there.
    My name is not I WILL BE.

    “When you live in this moment,
    It is not hard. I am here.
    My name is I AM.”

    I Am by Helen Mallicoat
