Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these Easter and Spring days with hopefulness!
Once again as we journey through this Easter season and month of April, 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 of blessing today is that you will have a blessed day rich in the grace of the Easter Season. May the Risen Christ touch your life with the joy of God’s mercy and love. May you be touch by the newness of life as you encounter others, as you journey through your day and as you share the gift of who you are with the world. Peace in Christ's Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord...Fr. Paul

That you will encounter the Risen Christ in whatever you do today and that you will live this day not fearful but joyful, trusting that the wind, the breath, the grace of the Holy Spirit will push you forth into a newness of life. Many blessings on this Monday to all! Pease know that you are in my prayers. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.” (Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude)
