    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    May God give you…
    For every storm, a rainbow,
    For every tear, a smile,
    For every care, a promise,
    And a blessing in each trial.
    For every problem life sends,
    A faithful friend to share,
    For every sigh, a sweet song,
    And an answer for each prayer.

    Loving God…

    Give us hearts
    where all may enter in,
    ears to hear your call,
    hands to do your will,
    voices to sing your praise
    and soul enough
    to recognize You
    in everything we do.

    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.

    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    Lord

    Enlighten what’s dark in me,

    Strengthen what’s weak in me,

    Mend what’s broken in me,

    Bind what’s bruised in me,

    Heal what’s sick in me,

    And lastly,

    Revive whatever peace and love

    Has died in me.

    Amen.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    Did I offer peace today?

    Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

    Did I say words of healing?

    Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

    Did I forgive?

    Did I love?

    There are the real questions.

    I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now

    will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
