    Rosemary's Blessing

    Let us pray to our God      

    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.

     

    Taken and adapted from a prayer by Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB for Pax Christi USA in commemoration of the United Nations International Decade for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World.

    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.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away then the work of Christmas begins:

    Lord, help us

    to find the lost,
    to heal those broken in spirit,
    to feed the hungry,
    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…

    I, God, am in your midst.

    Hello Everyone.  I am happy to report that John had his surgery on Friday.  Everything went well and he is a happy camper.  He walked down the hall tonight with his walker and NO pain.  He comes home tomorrow.  

    Special thanks to Mike Carrell  who spent the day in the hospital with John waiting for the surgery.
