Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

May God’s love and mercy encircle you today

With living laughter that renews and saves

And in your life may you celebrate his word

And be a witness to a gentle and gracious Lord.

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    And anyone that cannot get along with me.

 

 

Rosemary reads her Blessing of The Week.

 

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

    and to treat all I meet today with dignity

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

 

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.
