Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Friday has gotten off to a good start and that your day will go smoothly.
In about an hour I will begin my journey to Chicago where I will celebrate a family funeral tomorrow. Would ask you to keep my extended family in your prayers as we gather to celebrate the life of a very faith filled woman. I offer a simple prayer of blessing today that all of us will be blessed with the grace of God’s presence in our journey through this day. May all we do be touched by God’s Spirit. May all whom we meet be touched by God’s love and at the end of the day may we all find ourselves at home with the people we most love. Blessings to all on a well-deserved Friday and may your day be productive and full of energy. May your day move swiftly, and may it come to a relaxing and restful end. May you have a day rich in God’s grace and a peaceful and restful night so that you will rise refreshed to meet a new day! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all and happy Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle! To all who might bear the name Paul, like myself or who might find St. Paul and this feast dedicated to his conversion a source of inspiration and strength, like myself, many blessings and much peace.
I always celebrate the gift of St. Paul whenever I can. Today is one of my favorite feasts throughout the year. I will remember St. Paul as I celebrate mass today and I will draw upon the gift of the presence of St. Paul in my life and celebrate that gift as I go through this day. My blessing prayer is very simple this Wednesday morning - May the spirit of St. Paul the Apostle be with all of us throughout this day. May his energy enliven our work, our ministry, our living of life today and always. Many blessings and remember with St. Paul's help we too can get up when we are knocked down and life will be better because we do! Have a great Wednesday everyone and may the spirit of St. Paul be with you. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Glorious Saint Paul, most zealous Apostle, Martyr for the love of Christ, give us a deep faith, a steadfast hope, and a burning love for our Lord. So that we can proclaim with you, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Help us to put on Christ, as God’s chosen ones, clothed with compassion, kindness, humility and patience. Make us “ambassadors for Christ,” always proclaiming our salvation with faith, hope and love. Help us to seek the unity of all members of Christ’s body. Amen.

I would like to send a special shout out to my Great Niece Kristina Marie who celebrates her eighth birthday today! Happy Birthday Little One – Special K! May you have a great day, and may it be a day of many blessings! Much Love…Great Uncle Paul or Uncle GUP My prayer of blessing today is that God will bless all our endeavors, all our interactions, all of our challenges, all of our travels, all of our meetings, all of our ordinary tasks, all of our relationships and all whom we love and us today. May we bring the gift of God to our world and may today be a day truly blessed by God’s love so that we all have a day rich in what matters to us and God! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God, strengthen us with the power of your love. Fill our hearts with your unrelenting presence. Help us to work the soil of our hearts by loosening the places that have become hard, by seeking the help of your forgiveness to move the rocks of our sinfulness and by finding the strength to pull the weeds and thorns that are over grown and choking off your presence. May our hearts become the good soil that bears the fruit of your love thirty and sixty and a hundredfold. Amen!
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Tuesday has started off well.
My prayer of blessing is once again simple – I pray today for God’s blessing upon all of us and I pray in the hope everyone will have a great Tuesday. However, if our day has started slow, or disorganized, or in a panic, may we not worry and may it all come together by day's end! If our day started with peace and purpose may these two graces, see us through to the end of the day! If our day started with struggle and tension may we find moments of peace and calm that sustain us through the day. If our day has started without God, may we let God find us so that we will not walk and work alone! Blessings to all! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Stay with us today, O Lord, because we are weak, and we need your strength. You are our life and without you we are without passion. You are our light and without you we are in darkness. Stay with us, O Lord, for we desire to love you and always be in your company. Stay with us today, Jesus, because in life with all its dangers, we need you. Amen (Adapted from a Prayer by St. Pius of Pietrelcina)
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you had a good, if not great, weekend. After a long week of meetings, I was very glad to have the weekend off. I was able to renew my inner spirit once again. I hope you had a chance to renew your inner spirit too.
Remember that today is a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. So, as you journey through your day please pause periodically for a moment or two of prayer and ask God to take away what divides us about the gift of life. Pray that the hearts of all who wish to end life will change. May the life of the unborn who have no voice always be respected. May the life of all God’s people be respected. My prayer of blessing today is a simple one but hopeful one that helps all of us begin a new week that will be rich in God’s love. Many blessings on every one's day today may it be filled with many moments of grace, hope and God's love! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God of all life, direct our hearts throughout this day in your wonderful Spirit of hope. So that we may always know it is you at the center of all we are, all we want, and all we are meant to be. Keep us always faithful to your everlasting Spirit of Life that we might overcome our differences and become a house united in your Love. Help us to be a people who honor life from its first moment after conception to it very last breathe. Amen!
