Rosemary's Blessing

This Christmas

let us make visible God's love,

forgiveness, compassion and generosity

in our thoughts, words and actions. 

Like the Shepherds and Kings,

let us be courageous and find God in the different and the stranger. 

Let us let go of grudges and hurts. Let us be strong yet gentle.  

Let us give thanks for God’s gifts of love we find in our family, friends and earth, our common home.

Today, in the New year, and in all the days of our lives

 

Reflection by S. Jean Amore, CSJ, Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, NY

    Bless the Journey

     

    May you see the way wherever the journey takes you, sailing safely over rough water and weathering the waves’ dips and crests

    May you find treasure in Earth’s infinite variety, beauty and surprise

    May you hear the ocean’s music in every shell you hold to your ear

    May your boat fill with insight, laughter, generosity and love

    as you discover new landscapes and explore the wide expanse of memory.
