Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all! I hope this finds you well and that your Tuesday has gotten off to a good start. The mission here in Our Lady of Hope is going well. Yesterday was day one and we had a nice group in the morning and the evening. I am looking forward to day two of the mission with two services today. Please continue to pray for the faith community here at Our Lady of Hope Parish along with their pastor and their preacher.
Today I pray we will all have a great day filled with many graced and blessed moments. May any struggles be minor ones that quickly are solved. And may God bless us all with the mercy, joy, faith, hope and love that will make our lives be a “yes” to whatever God asks of us this day! Have a great day everyone and may God’s blessing be with you! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

It will be a full day for me, with five masses beginning with the 8 am mass and ending with the 6:30 pm mass. It will be a day of inviting people to the mission and hoping that God touches their hearts.
While I am unsure what this day will bring as the sun has not risen just yet it seems that today will be a sunny one a quite a bit warmer than yesterday. If that is the case I hope during my afternoon break to get out and take a little walk around the neighborhood. It will be nice just to get out and enjoy the day a little. I hope the weather by you will be sunny and at least a little warmer too! May God bless us with a holy and relaxing day, with some sun, some milder temperatures, some smiles and the grace of God’s joy and mercy to enjoy a beautiful day. When night comes may we also have a restful and peaceful night so that we can rise refreshed tomorrow to begin a new day and a new week! Blessing and peace to all. Remember to give God a little time today and may God’s grace and peace be with you! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, grant us peace, goodness and blessing; life grace and kindness; justice and mercy. Bless us with the light of your presence, for in the light of your presence you give us law and life, love and kindness, justice and mercy, blessing and peace. And in your eyes, it is good to bless your people with great strength and peace. Blessed are you, O God, who blesses your people with peace. Amen (Adapted from a Traditional Jewish Prayer)
