     Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

     Another fresh new year is here …
         Another year to live!
    To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
         To love and laugh and give!

    This bright new year is given me
         To live each day with zest …
    To daily grow and try to be
         My highest and my best!

    I have the opportunity
         Once more to right some wrongs,
    To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
         And sing more joyful songs!

    William Arthur Ward

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.

    May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.

    May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.

    And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.

    Amen.

    From a  prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

     Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas.

    I shall no longer allow

    negative thoughts or feelings

    to drain me of my energy.

    Instead I shall focus on all the

    good that is in my life.

    I will think it, feel it and speak it.

    By doing so I will send out

    the world and I shall be grateful

    will attract into my life.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    In recognition of Veterans' Day 11/11/16

    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
