Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday 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 today is for God’s blessings upon all of us wherever we are and in whatever we are encountering today. I pray we stay safe, warm, and have a great day. May we find the richness of God’s presence in our lives today and always. Also, I pray that the end of this day will bring us to the beginning of a restful and enjoyable weekend. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Lead us into the eternal way, O God. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by St. Makarios of Alexandria)
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all and happy Valentine’s Day! Also, I hope your team won yesterday. If not, there is always next year!

Remember - “Perfect Love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18) As we begin this new day with perhaps a busy week ahead, my prayer of blessing for all of us is that our day will be rich in what matters to God. That every encounter, every journey, every experience, every meeting, every task and every person we meet will be blessed with God’s presence. I pray that we will have moments of peace that will help us to hear, feel and know the presence of God is with and within us. If we are traveling today, may we travel safe. No matter what our day will bring let us smile often and know that we are a gift today and always! May we have many blessings throughout the day and “Always tell of God's love. If necessary, using words.” (St. Francis of Assisi). Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Prayer of Love
If I speak in human and angelic tongues* but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially, and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. So, faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is Love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) |
