Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you will have a wonderful end to the work week that it will lead you into a relaxing and restful weekend. I made it home yesterday and now am trying to catch up on all the things I missed while away.
I would like to pause and remember my mother today on this 101st anniversary of her birth. February 23th was always a special day and I tried never to forget it especially in the last years of her life. Mom have a wonderful birthday today in heaven! Enjoy yourself and know that we love you and miss you! I pray for God’s blessing on all of you today that in some way you will have a day graced with the wonderful spirit of God that you will be blessed with the richness of God’s presence in your life in some way. May your day be blessed with successful travel, wonderful interaction with people, quite refreshing moments, nourishment that energizes you and moments that remind you of God’s love and joy! Be well everyone and if you can take some time to enjoy life joyful way! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Good Jesus, the author and encourager of peace, love and goodwill, soften our hard and steely hearts, and warm our frozen and icy hearts, so that we may wish well to one another today and that we may be true disciples and friends of Jesus. Give us the grace even now to begin to reveal that heavenly life, where there is no hatred but rather peace and love everywhere. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Juan Luis (Ludovicus) Vives)

May we all be blessed with the strength of God to guide us, the power of God to uphold us, the wisdom of God to enlighten us. Many blessings today wherever you are and upon whatever you are or will be doing. Please say a little prayer that my travels go smoothly and safely. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Great and awesome God, bless us today with the gifts of your mercy and forgiveness not just for our own lives but that these gifts will be alive within us.

Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you will all have a great Wednesday wherever you are and in whatever you will be doing. We will be bringing the mission to a close here at Corpus Christi Parish in Bismarck today. It has been a spirit filled three days. Yesterday was a busy day but a faith filled day as many people shared their faith and struggles with me and even sought God’s forgiveness. I was tired at the end of the day, but it was a good tired! Again, I ask your prayers for this final day of mission, for the faith community and the preacher.

Today’s Prayer: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Well our mission here at Corpus Christi Parish in Bismarck has gotten off to a great start. Despite the very cold temps last night we had to great session and I look for more of the same today. There is a lot of enthusiasm here which make my job, my ministry rather easy. I just wish it would get a little warmer they say today will be colder than yesterday and for some of the people it is not good for them to be out is this weather. Please continue to keep the faith community here and the preacher in your prayers! My prayer of blessing for all of us today comes from our readings at mass that God’s blessing will be upon us all this day, so that the Word of God may be planted and nourished within us throughout this day and that we may bring this joyful word wherever we go and to whom ever you meet! May God’s bless us with a good day, with at least a little sun and a little warmth. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all!

If you have a chance today, please offer a prayer for the faith community here at Corpus Christi and for their preacher! My prayer of blessing this morning is for all of you out there beginning a new work week, a new school week, a new Monday! May God’s blessings be with you in whatever you encounter today, in whomever you encounter today and wherever your day takes you.

Paul Today’s Prayer: Help us O God, to be the people you have created us to be today. Help us to think before we speak especially when our words are directed towards others. Help us to think before we write especially when we are writing about others. Help us to act, respond and live as people committed to compassion, life and love. Make us aware of your presence in everyone we meet, make us aware of your presence in ourselves. Fill us with words and actions today that bring about your Spirit of life! Amen!
