Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope and pray you are navigating through these March Lenten days with faith and hopefulness for the future.
Once again, I offer you Pope Francis’ Prayer… O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, and the Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of All People, know what we need. We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. (Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) I would ask for your continued prayers for the faith community here at Our Lady of Fatima in New London, New Hampshire and for their preacher as we journey through a time of mission. Thanks in advance for your prayers! My prayer of blessing today is that we all will have a blessed day. I pray we will all have a day filled with many graced and blessed moments. May any struggles be overcome by our faith and quickly are solved. And May God bless us all with the faith, hope, joy and mercy that will make our lives be a “yes” to whatever God asks of us this day! Have a faith filled, healthy and safe day everyone and may God’s goodness and healing be with you! And may God’s grace change the hearts that are set on war and violence in the Ukraine to hearts of peace. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Lord Jesus, you were rich, yet, for our sakes, you became poor. You promised that whatever is done for the least of your sisters and brothers is done for you. Give us grace to be always willing to provide for the needs of others, that your kingdom of service, mercy and love may extend throughout the world. Amen (Adapted from a prayer by St. Augustine of Hippo)

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) As I mentioned yesterday and Saturday, I am in New London, New Hampshire at Our Lady of Fatima Parish and we are beginning a Lenten Mission here today. I preached all the masses on Saturday and Sunday and this morning and evening will be the first Mission sessions.

May the coming of Spring begin the hopefulness of warmth, colors and new life into your life. May the blessings of Spring enliven your life today! My prayer of blessing today is that through the intercession of St. Joseph, all of us will remain focused on our faith, on our relationship with God, on all the journeys of life that God has invited us to enter into and all the healing God has provided. May we never give in to hopelessness and look elsewhere to a god the world creates. Many blessings to all today, may faith be central in our living today, may our hope be steadfast and may we encounter the presence of God’s love throughout the day! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr.

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Later today I will be heading out to New London, New Hampshire where I will begin a parish mission on Saturday at Our Lady of Fatima Parish. Please keep me and the faith community of Our Lady of Fatima in your prayer from Saturday to Wednesday evening as we celebrate a time of Lenten Mission. And I would also ask your prayers for safe travel to and from! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day an old Irish blessing, may God give you, for every storm, a rainbow, for every tear, a smile. For every care, a promise; a blessing for every trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh, a sweet song, and an answer for every prayer. Have a great Friday and St. Patrick’s Day everyone and my prayer of blessing today goes out to everyone that you may encounter the love of God in some special way today; through the gesture of another person, through an experience of life, through an encounter with God within yourself. May God’s love enliven a well-spring of joy within you that you can share with all you meet today. And may you find the joy and mercy of God within you and share it with the world! May today be a day of many blessings and a day without too much stress and may it lead you into a peaceful weekend! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me, the power of God uphold me, the wisdom of God guide me. May the eye of God look before me, the ear of God hear me, the word of God speak for me. May the hand of God protect me, the way of God lie before me, the shield of God defend me, the host of God save me. May Christ shield me today. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit, Christ when I stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by St. Patrick)
