    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Prayer for Good Humor
    by St. Thomas More

    Grant me, O Lord, good digestion, and also something to digest.
    Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.
    Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good
    and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil,
    but rather finds the means to put things back in their place.
    Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments,
    nor excess of stress, because of that obstructing thing called “I.”
    Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor.
    Allow me the grace to be able to take a joke to discover in life a bit of joy,
    and to be able to share it with others.

    But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

     Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

    Amen.
