Rosemary's Blessing: 

Let us pray to our God,

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

May our hands never harm a living being.

May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

May our tongue speak to those who are poor

Without fear of the powerful.

May our prayers rise with patient discontent

Until no child is hungry.

Taken and adapted from a prayer by Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB for Pax Christi USA in commemoration of the United Nations International Decade for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

Come, O Dancing God,

Spirit of Life and Love,

of  Beauty and Diversity,

stir up my soul,

bathe me in your light,

and unleash my own spirit

that I may dance with you

and be light for those around me

and reflect your love to all that I meet this week.

Who let this Old Geezer out on the roads of Iowa?   Accessories include, Aviana on the helmet (How can I leave my dog at home?); Leis around the neck & on the handle bars about 8-10 strings of beads, all for kids and helpers along the way this day (ala New Orleans Mardi Gras).  The kids love the beads thrown to them.

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,

Anonymous
