Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

Faithful and loving God, you have lavished us with love.

On our difficult days

help us to remember that you are a refuge for those who need shelter and a comfort for those who feel empty and poor in spirit.

On our joyful days,

fill us with a deep sense of thanksgiving as we experience your everlasting love.

Help us to share your graciousness, your abundant generosity, with all those who need a touch of generous love. Amen.

Lord, give me a few friends who will love me for what I am, and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.   And though I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me to be thankful for life, and for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet.  And may the evening’s twilight find me gentle still.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
