    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.

    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

    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

    A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

     

    Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

    Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

    I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

    Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

    Amen.

    17th Century Nun’s Prayer

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

     

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

     

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and my living simple.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    Loving Father,

    often we forget your gifts to us,

    letting them pass unnoticed through each day.

    Show us how to look again, to see through your eyes

    and give freely in response to what we see.

    Amen

    Rosemary's Blessing

    What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

    Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

    Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

    Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

     

    What good did it do to be grouchy today?

    Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

    Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

    Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

     

    If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

    If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

    If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

    Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

    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.
