Daily Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all and Happy Fat Tuesday! I hope you will take a little time today to celebrate and ready yourself to enter Lent. Today is one of those ordinary days when I ask for an extra beer at dinner or perhaps even a piece of cheese cake or another favorite dessert. Nothing fancy, just a small celebration to lift the spirits as I enter the long season of Lent. However, I will be closing a mission here at the Church of the Good Shepherd, in Camp Hill, PA. So friends my celebration will have to wait until the end of Lent!
My prayer of blessing today is that if you have things that you need to worry about don’t I will provide that service for you today. I pray – that God may give you a “worry free” day – that God will bless all of you with the richness of his grace and love – that any journeys today will be safe, swift and easy – that your encounters with others will be life giving and productive – and that your journey through this day will be filled with smiles. Thus, may God bless your day with the Spirit of “Don’t Worry – Be Happy!” Have a great day with many blessings! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Loving God, we give you thanks this day because we are fearfully and wonderfully made in your image and likeness. Help us realize and recognize this awesome gift. Strengthen us to live our life so that your image and likeness may be encounter by all we meet. Guide us so that our traditions, rules, regulations and rituals do not hide your image within us but serve as tools that help to enhance our faith and not become our faith. May the living of our faith always put people first and help us to live in the hope that one day we will hear you proclaim our life as very good! Amen!
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to everyone! I hope your day is starting off well and that you will not be fighting nasty weather.
As for me, yesterday was a long day as I preached four masses and then open the mission last night here at the Church of the Good Shepherd, in Camp Hill, PA. At this moment I am getting ready to begin my second day of mission. We had a nice opening last night even though the weather was not that good. Today we will have a morning session after the 8:30 am mass and an evening session at 7:00 pm. Please continue to keep the faith community here at Good Shepherd in your prayer and if you could say a little extra prayer for their preacher it would be greatly appreciated! As I celebrate mission today I will keep all of you in my prayers throughout the day. My prayer of blessing for you as I begin this day is that your day will be rich in what matters to God. That every encounter, every journey, every experience and every person you meet will be blessed with God’s presence. I pray that you will have moments of peace that will help you to hear, feel and know that presence of God that is within you. Work hard, if you have to travel, travel safe, smile often and know that you are a gift today and always! May you have many blessings throughout this Monday. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God, teach us to have patient hearts and give us the grace to open our hearts to you so that we may persevere in our journey of faith today and always. Be our protector, our stronghold and guide us with your love. Amen!
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sorry for being a little late today but I was busy this morning preaching. I am beginning a mission here in Camp Hill at The Church of the Good Shepherd. I have a little chance to rest right now but I still have to preach the 5:00 pm mass and then open the mission at 7:00 pm this evening. Please offer a prayer during these next few days for the faith community here at Good Shepherd and also for their preacher!
My prayer of blessing this afternoon is that wherever you are, whomever you are with or will encounter and whatever you are doing or will do - I prayer that you will be blessed with the grace, love and presence of God. May you always take some time to rest and enjoy life. May you remember to pause for a moment of prayer today and always. And may you enjoy the rest of your Sunday, by thinking positive thoughts, wearing a smile and trusting that God journeys with you! Blessings to all on your journey through this Sunday and may you have a restful and peaceful evening and night! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: God, here we are at your disposal, your children. Use us to continue your loving world by giving Jesus to us and through us, to each other and the world. Let us pray for each other: that we allow Jesus to love us and through us with the love with which his Father loves us. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Teresa of Calcutta)

As I set out on my journey today my prayer of blessing as I drive is that God will bless us all in our endeavors today and that life today and every day will be rich with the gift of God’s presence, a presence we will find in the world around us, in the people we meet and in ourselves. Have a great Saturday and a great weekend everyone. Don’t forget to get God a little time too! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
Dear God, I am so afraid to open my clenched fists! Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to? Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands? Please help me to gradually open my hands and to discover that I am not what I own, but what you want to give me.” (Henri J.M. Nouwen) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all!

And I pray that the Passion of Jesus Christ will always be in your hearts! Blessings today and always! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Almighty and ever-loving God, look with compassion on our humanness, on all our struggles and weaknesses. Strengthen us for the journey ahead.
