Rosemary's Blessing

O Holy One,

Abide with us

In this hour,

In our rest,

In all the time that is ours

    in the year to come.

Let your blessing rest

Upon us, within us, around us

    in this moment and in

    all the moments to come.

In your name we pray.

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…

 

Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman

Rosemary's Blessing

I, God, am in your midst.

Whoever knows me can never fall.

Not in the heights, nor the depths, nor in the breadths.

For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

3.  How did all this come about?  The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job).   I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the  last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.

In remembrance of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War – November 11, 1918 at 11:11 AM.

 

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!

Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
