Today’s Blessings Prayer: Happy Easter everyone! I hope this finds you enjoying a beautiful Easter Sunday morning. It will be a busy morning and afternoon for me as I have two masses at the Parish of St. John and St. Mary in Chappaqua, NY, the 9:00 am and 10:30 am. Then I will head to the Wartburg Home in Mount Vernon, NY and celebrate a mass, at 2:00 pm. Busy but I am excited to celebrate Easter with the faith communities in both places. I hope you will take the opportunity to celebrate Easter in some way!
As we begin this Easter Sunday morning, 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 today is that all of you will be touch by the joy of Easter and the joy of God’s love. On this most holy feast of Easter, having journeyed with Jesus through his Passion, Death to this day of Resurrection may our Good and Gracious God bless us and protect us from the struggles and perils of life. May the God who so loves us that he gave us his only Son touch us with that love today and always. And through the joyous grace of Christ may God lead us to the banquet of lasting joy. Amen – Alleluia! Enjoy your day and I hope you will give God a little time today and get to celebrate this wonder feast of Easter in some way! Peace in Christ's Passion - Joy in the Risen Lord...Fr. Paul
