Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these unusual days with a sense of hopefulness.
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 that our day, our week, will be blessed with many wonderful and life- giving experiences. I pray that we will all will take sometime today to smell the flowers, to enjoy the colors of creation and to let ourselves be loved even if it means being loved from afar. May the blessing of God’s love be with all of us today and always. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Loving God, give us grace to walk humbly today, and save us from self-importance and every condescending folly. You have made us, and not we ourselves. Help us to remember the limits of our power and our wisdom, but help us, also, to live our lives to the fullest within the limits of our power and wisdom. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr)
