Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you are navigating through these September days with faith and hopefulness for the future.
As we begin this new day and this new work week, 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) My prayer of blessing for all of us today is that as we journey through our day may it be a good journey. May we live by faith and trust in the gift that we are. May we place our gift, our light, on a stand in the middle of the room so that it will give light to the whole house, to everywhere we go and to everyone we meet. Blessings today upon all we do, upon everyone we meet and most importantly upon each one of us! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire you with a whole heart, so that desiring you we may seek you with a whole heart and find you; and so finding you, may love you, and loving you may hate those sins which separate us from you, for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen (St. Anselm of Canterbury)

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) My Sunday prayer of blessing is that we will all be blessed with the spirit of faith to help us on this journey through life. May we be blessed with the spirit of hope to get us through the rough times. May we be blessed with a spirit of mercy to help us to see God in others and ourselves. May we be blessed with the spirit of love to remind us in whose image and likeness we are created, how special we are and that we are never alone. As we journey through this day may we know that God is with us always and will never leave us to face our struggles alone! Let us not forget to give God a little time today and may we all have a great Sunday! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
We live today… Christ with us, Christ before us, Christ behind us, Christ in us, Christ beneath us, Christ above us, Christ on our right, Christ on our left, Christ when we lie down, Christ when we sit down, Christ when we arise, Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of us, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of us, Christ in every eye that sees us, Christ in every ear that hears us. We live today… Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation. We live today…Thankful for a generous and loving God! Amen. Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings of rest and peace to all today!

Know you are in my prayers always. Love, GUP My prayer of blessing for all of us today is that God will bless all our endeavors, our encounters, our times of solitude, our moments of busyness and our times of rest today. May this day be what we need it to be. May it be a gift from God that enables us to find the presence of God in our life, especially within ourselves! Have a great Saturday and don’t forget to give a little time to God this weekend. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
O God, seek us, O God, find us In your patient care; Be your love before, behind us, Be around us, everywhere: Lest the gods of this world blind us, Lest they speak us fair, Lest they forge a chain to bind us, Lest they bait a snare, Turn not from us, call to mind us, Find, embrace us, bear; Be your love before, behind us, Be around us, everywhere. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Christina Rossetti) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessing to all.

May whatever kind of roads we take today be smooth and not crowded for our journeys, may the wind be gentle and always helping us along, may the sun shine warm upon our face helping us to smile, and if it rains may it fall gently upon us as we journey and, until the sun rises again tomorrow, may God hold us and all whom we love in the palm of His hand so nothing will harm us. Amen! Have a great Friday everyone. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God help us to be grateful today. Help us to recognize your love in everything you have given us, because we know, we believe that you have has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of your love, every moment of existence is a grace, because it brings with it immense graces from you.
Gracious God, in gratitude we must never take anything for granted. We must never be unresponsive to your love. We must constantly be awakening to new wonder and giving praise for your awesome goodness. We want to be grateful people because we know that a grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And this is what makes all the difference. Amen! (Adapted from words by Thomas Merton) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings and happy feast of St. Matthew to everyone!
