Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all! I hope and pray you are navigating through these days of the first week of Lent 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) I pray for God’s blessing on all of us today that in some way we will have a day graced with the wonderful spirit of God that we will be blessed with the richness of God’s presence in our life in some way. May our day be blessed with successful travel, wonderful interaction with people, quiet refreshing moments, nourishment that energizes us and moments that remind us of God’s love and joy! Be well everyone and if you can take some time to enjoy life joyful way! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Good Jesus, the author and encourager of peace, love and goodwill, soften our hard and steely hearts, and warm our frozen and icy hearts, so that we may wish well to one another today and that we may be true disciples and friends of Jesus. Give us the grace even now to begin to reveal that heavenly life, where there is no hatred but rather peace and love everywhere. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Juan Luis (Ludovicus) Vives)
