    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.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    …and life is still a constant surprise to me.  We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose.  Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy.  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:  

    We are called to be co-partners and co-workers in the unfolding of God’s vision. Our faith brings us to a deep truth: we are made in the image and likeness of a God who is unconditional and unfathomable love. Jesus lives and teaches this idea of God that surpasses all other concepts of God. Our God is intimately close to us and in love with us. We abide in God.
