    Rick & Jackie Urbanczyk's Blessing:  

    May you be blessed with all things good.
    May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.
    May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand
    on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world.
    May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger
    and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions.
    May every pathway you choose lead to
    that which is pure and good and lovely.
    May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust
    as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you.
    And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in…
    May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world.
    May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure
    and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.
    May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of God,
    like the cherished child you are.
    And when you are tempted to judge,
    may you be reminded that we are all one
    and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe,
    touching everyone and everything.
    And when you are tempted to hold back,
    may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely…
    and it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
    May you always have music and laughter
    and may a rainbow follow every storm.
    May gladness wash away every disappointment,
    may joy dissolve every sorrow…and may love ease every pain.
    May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph
    and with each passing day may you live more abundantly
    than the day before.
    May you be blessed.
    And may others be blessed by you.
    This is my heartfelt wish for you.

    May you be blessed.

    Rosemary's Blessing:   

    We end this meal with grace

    For the joy and nourishment of food,

    The slowed time away from the world

    To come into presence with each other

    We pray the wise spirit who keeps us

    To change the structures that make others hunger

    And that after such grace we might go forth

    And impart dignity wherever we partake.

    Rosemary's Blessing:   

    Revel in a friendly Smile

    Grasp the offered Hand, warm and strong

    And with your best Love be reconciled.

    Watch the Clouds march across the Sky

    As You come from your daily Labor

    Your Heart open for Surprise.

    And may the God of Surprises

    Who filled the World with Wonder

    Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    Rosemary's Blessing: God

    Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

              And anyone that I have promised to pray for.

    Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

              And anyone that cannot get along with me.

    Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

              And anyone that I have hurt.

    Bless the person that I cannot forgive

              And anyone that cannot forgive me.

    Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

              And to treat all I meet with dignity.
