Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I hope and pray you are continuing to navigate through these unusual and at times difficult days with faith and a hopefulness for the future.
Once again as we journey through this uncertain time, 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 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 holy and blessed Saturday and a great weekend everyone! Don’t forget to get God a little time. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Loving God, helper of those who turn to you, light of those in the dark, creator of all that grows, promotor of all spiritual growth, have mercy on us. Make us temples fit for you. Do not scan our transgressions too closely, for if you are quick to notice our offenses, we will not dare to appear before you. In your great mercy, in your boundless compassion, wash away our sins, through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen! (Adapted from an Early Christian Prayer)

May Jesus Christ’s Passion be truly always in our hearts! Especially as we celebrate this 300th Anniversary Year of our founding by St. Paul of the Cross. My prayer today is for God’s blessings upon all of you wherever you are and in whatever you are encounter today. I pray you stay safe, warm, and have a great day.

Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God creator of all good things, you are our light and our salvation, whom should we fear.

Guide us along your right path knowing that you are always with us and you will never leave us to face life alone and may the Passion of Jesus Christ be always in our hearts. Amen!

May God bless us with many encounters of his presence as we journey through this day. As always, I pray for God’s blessings upon all of us today that whether in balance or not we may find the gift of God’s touch in our lives; the touch of healing if we need it, but most importantly the touch of love to carry us through the day. Have a blessed and holy Thursday everyone and may St. Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes bring healing and peace to places of our lives that need them.. 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: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all!

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) My prayer of blessing is once again a simple I pray today for God’s blessing upon all of us and I pray in the hope everyone will have a great Wednesday. However, if our day has started slow, or disorganized, or in a panic, may we not worry, and may it all come together by day's end! If our day started with peace and purpose may these two graces, see us through to the end of the day! If our day started with struggle and tension may we find moments of peace and calm that sustain us through the day. If our day has started without God, may we let God find us so that we will not walk and work alone! And may Mary’s healing and loving presence be a blessing for us today too. Blessings to all! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, to know you is life. To serve You is freedom. To praise you is the soul's joy and delight. Guard us with the power of Your grace here and in all places. Now and at all times, forever. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Augustine)
