Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday greetings and blessings to all! I hope and pray you are continuing to navigate through these February days with faith and a hopefulness for the future.
Once again, 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 For all of you focused on the Super Bowl today, I hope your team wins or perhaps more importantly I hope your box in the Super Bowl pool wins! Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday but don’t forget to give God a little time today! My prayer of blessing today is that your Sunday will be rich with the blessings of God. I pray all of you will have a good day one graced by the presence of God. May you encounter many smiles, many good people and much love. May you also have some time to rest, relax and just enjoy life. Have a blessed and holy Sunday and know of my prayers for you today and always. 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.

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)

O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings; look with mercy on me. By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, where you dispense your favors; and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.

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?

(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)
