Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these 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) I thank you for your prayers yesterday. Our final taping day until September was long but it went well. So, thanks for the prayers! My prayer of blessing today is that God will bless this day so that we may find his presence in all that we do, every place we go and every person we encounter. May God’s presence bring us healing and hope. May this day be blessed by God and bring us many smiles, friendly people, and the loving grace of God. May this Saturday be rich in all that makes a day, life giving and life sustaining for us even if we do not feel our lives are fully normal yet. Have a blessed, holy, and healthy Saturday everyone. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Christ…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 when we are 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!

May all that we do today, all that we encounter, all of our work, all of our interactions be touched with the grace of God and may our living of life today bring us a little closer to the peace Jesus promises. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Lord, make us instruments of your peace, where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen. (Adapted from the Prayer known as the Prayer of St. Francis) |
