Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessing to all! I hope your Saturday is starting out well.
My prayer of blessing is that you are not too busy on this second Saturday of December and Advent and that you will have moments today to relax and just enjoy the gift of Advent, the gift of family, the gift of friends or even the gift of solitude! May God bless you today and always – in the words of Isaiah that we heard earlier this week – with the strength to run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint and that you may soar through this day on eagles’ wings as people of faith who hope in God with strength renewed! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Save us, Lord, King of Eternal Glory, you who have the power to save us all. Lord, give us counsel in our anxiety, help us in times of trial, give us solace when persecuted, and strengthen us against every temptation. Grant us pardon. Lord, for our past wrongdoings, and afflictions, and correction for our present ones, and consent also to protect us against those in the future. Amen (Adapted from an Eleventh-century Latin Prayer)
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all. I hope this finds you well and off on the right foot on this Friday of Advent. It is hard to believe but ten days from today is Christmas. Still much to do and today is a busy day as it is our Sunday Mass taping day in December. It is an early morning start for me and it will be a long day.

Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope today has gotten off to a good start for you.
We celebrate the feast today of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It remembers the appearance of Mary to Juan Diego, a poor Aztec Indian convert, as a beautiful young mestiza woman on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City on December 9, 1531. It is a special day of celebration for all our sisters and brothers of Central, South America and here in North America too. With this feast in mind I ask God’s blessings upon all of us today through the intersession of Mary. May God bless us all today with the wonderful grace of trust, faith and hope that was so present in the life of Mary. May this day be one in which we focus our life, strive to be the best we can, persevere through the struggles and challenges and always take a little time to connect with God through prayer. – Loving God bless us with the richness of your love wherever we go and through whomever we meet. And may we always say “yes” when you ask us to bring your presence to the world. We ask this blessing through your gift of Mary. Amen! Have a great Tuesday everyone! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Come loving God, come – come and make your dwelling in our hearts. Come and be present to the struggling, difficult and challenging moments of our day. Come in your unexpected ways and fill us with a hope that will always help us to trust and have faith that you are always with us and you will never leave us to face the struggles and challenges of life alone. Come loving God, come and be with us today and like Mary may we always say “yes” - Amen!
