Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all. I hope that you are navigating through these April Easter Season days in faith and with a sense of hopefulness.
As we begin our Monday, 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 this morning is that God will bless our day with a strong faith, the hope of a new day and the love of many people in our life. Many we be blessed with God’s presence in our life, our work from home and our encounters with others. May we be graced with patience, strength, determination and perseverance and many moments that will put a smile on our face. Blessings upon all of us today. Please have a blessed and holy Monday and a great week. You can be assured of my prayers as we make our way through the days of this week. May God bless us with the gift of bringing God’s joy and hope to the world today! Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Christ…Fr. Paul

Loving Father, Your gifts are many, but our attention span is short. Your Son changed the world by his love and brought us new hope. However, still we fail, we become discouraged, and we forget. We are weak on our own, but your Spirit renews our hearts and souls. We pray today and always for the understanding of salvation history that we find in the Acts of the Apostles. We pray for a sense of deliverance that we find in the Book of Psalms. We pray for confidence and hope in the future that we find in the Gospel. We make this prayer alive with Easter joy and ever watchful in the Spirit. Amen! |
