Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to everyone. I hope you are navigating through these July days with faith and hopefulness for the future.
As we begin our Saturday, I offer you a morning prayer by Pope Francis… I thank you Lord, for your past blessings. Today I offer myself – whatever I do, say, or think – to your loving care. Continue to bless me, Lord. and all I meet this day; Especially those who are ill and those who most need prayer. This I ask with the prayer of Mary, And through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Composed by Pope Francis) The Solemn Novena to St. Ann ended wonderfully last night and today I will be making my way back home and getting back into my normal routine. Thank you for your prayers as I said throughout the novena they were greatly appreciated! Have a great Saturday everyone. May God bless us all with a strong and joy filled faith so that we will always believe in the treasure that we carry within us and that we are! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
