Rosemary’s Blessing

 May the sun shine bright on your joyous days

And the rain refresh you through peaceful nights.

May summer show God’s wondrous ways

And prepare you for heaven’s great delights

 

And till we meet there,

May the God of summertime

Hold you in the palm of her hand

Rosemary's Blessing:

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.

May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.

May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.

And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.

Amen.

From a  prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

I give Thanks for arriving safely in a New Dawn.

For the Gift of Eyes to See the World,

The gift of Mind to feel at Home in my Life.

The Waves of Possibility breaking on the Shore of Dawn,

The Harvest of the Past that awaits my Hunger,

And all the Furthering this New Day will bring.

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.
Amen.
