Rosemary's Blessing:

 

Let us walk softly on the earth

With all living beings, great and small,

Remembering as we go,

That one God, kind and wise, created all.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    O God, we thank you for the fact that you have inspired men and women in all nations and in all cultures. We call you different names: some call you Allah; some call you Elohim; some call you Jehovah; some call you Brahma; some call you the Unmoved Mover.  But we know that these are all names for one and the same God.

    Grant that we will follow you and become so committed to your way and your kingdom that we will be able to establish in our lives and in this world a brother and sisterhood, that we will be able to establish here a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being.

    In the name and spirit of Jesus. Amen.

    Ezekiel 47:  This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh.  Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh.
    1 Corinthians 3:  Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
     John 2:   He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Take up our quarrel with the foe!
    To you from falling hands we throw
    The torch, Be yours to bear it high!
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow
    In Flanders Field.

    IN FLANDERS FIELDS
    By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915
    during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

     The Answer (One of many poems written in response to In Flanders Fields)

    In Flanders Field the cannon boom
    And fitful flashes light the gloom;
    While up above, like Eagles, fly
    The fierce destroyers of the sky;
    With stains the earth wherein you lie
    Is redder than the poppy bloom
    In Flanders Field.

    Sleep on ye brave! The shrieking shell,
    The quaking trench, the startling yell,
    The fury of the battle hell
    Shall wake you not; for all is well.

    Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
    Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
    With burning heart an oath we swear
    To keep the faith to fight it through
    To crush the foe, or sleep with you
    In Flanders Field

    The Answer, by Lt. J. A. Armstrong of Beloit.Wisconsin.
