Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday afternoon greetings and blessings to all! I hope your Sunday is going well. It is a beautiful day here in Pelham. As I pause in the midst of a Sunday afternoon, my prayer is fashioned from a little saying that I have always liked, “Prayer may not change things for you, but it for sure changes you for things.” So my prayer of blessing today for all of you is to simply say a little prayer for you that you will be ready for all the things you face today and that whatever you encounter will be a blessing from God that will enliven, energize and gift your day! If you are traveling today, travel safe; if you are relaxing and enjoying a Sunday do it with energy and enthusiasm, and if you encounter struggles and difficulties today remember you are not alone God dwells within you! Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Loving God make us instruments of your love, compassion and forgiveness. When we are hated, help us not to lash out with hate. When we are persecuted by word or action, help us not to sling mud back. When we are not respected or made fun of, help us not to be disrespectful and arrogant. When the way people talk about us or report about us does not seem fair, help us to be your faithful, humble and meek servants who bring your presence to the world. For if we are compassionate and loving people we will keep alive your Good News and help all to know just how much you love the world. Amen!
