    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    Grant us, Lord God,

     

    a vision of your world as your

    love would have it: 

     

    a world where the weak are protected,

    and none go hungry or poor; 

     

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

     

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

     

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

     

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

     

    Amen.

     “The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear. So it is His work ..

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    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
