Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these Spring, Easter Season and May days 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) My prayer of blessing this morning is that God will bless and grace, our journey through this day, our work, our rest, our interactions with others, our loved ones and us! May God truly be with us, around us and within us today and always! Have a blessed, holy, and healthy Thursday everyone! Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the coming of the Holy Spirit…Fr. Paul

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 always walks with you! Remember to give God a little time today! Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr.
