    A Summer Blessing

     

    May you walk with God

    This summer

    In whatever you do

    Wherever you go

     

    Walking with God means…

    Walking with honesty

    And with courage,

    Walking with love

    And respect

    And concern for the feelings of others

     

    May you talk to God

    This summer

    And every day and

    In every situation

     

    Talking with God means…

    Praying words of praise

    For the beauty of creation

    Saying prayers of thanks

    For friends and good times,

    Asking God's help

    In all your decisions

    Expressing sorrow

    When you have failed

     

    May you talk with God

    Every day. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:
     
     

    Prayer for Peace – by St. John XXIII

     

    Lord Jesus Christ,

    who are called the Prince of Peace,

    who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

    who so often said, “Peace to you,”

    grant us peace.

    Make all men and women witnesses of

    truth, justice, and brotherly love.

    Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

    Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee

    and defend the great gift of peace.

    May all peoples of the earth becomes as brothers and sisters.

    May longed-for peace blossom forth

    and reign always over us all.

    Amen.

    Exodus 19:  Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob; tell the Israelites: You have seen for yourselves how I treated the Egyptians and how I bore you up on eagle wings and brought you here to myself.

    Romans 5:  Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

    Matthew 9:  Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.

    Some more men receiving the blessing

     

     
    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,

    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

     

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men

    you have given to us in our lives.

     

    Support them in their call

    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

     

    May their witness of faith and love

    shine from them and on their children and families

    giving hope and encouragement to all.

     

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.

    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

     

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches

    who have shown us love and support.

     

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,

    give them your loving touch of healing

    consoling them with your gentle care.

     

    For those fathers who have gone before us,

    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;

    bring them the fullness of union with you

    and communion with us as we remember their love for us. Amen.
