Rosemary's Blessing

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us,

we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,

have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,

who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,

who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing

and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Henri J.M. Nouwen

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
    It is there for each and every one of us.

    Rosemary's Blessing:                            

    This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

    Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

    The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

    What's not OK in me? 

    What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

    Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

    To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

    Zechariah 9:  He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.  His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
    Romans 8:  If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
    Matthew 11:  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

    Creator God
    who breathed this world into being,
    who is discernible within

    the perfection of a butterfly’s wing,
    the grandeur of a mountain range,
    the soaring eagle and humming bird,
    thank you for this world
    which you have created.
    Thank you for summer sun,
    which reminds us
    that your creative breath
    is still alive and active.
    Thank you for the warmth of your love,
    sustaining this world,

    Your garden
