Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your Saturday is off and running or walking or resting in a good way. It is an early morning for me. I am up and will be out by 6:00 am to begin my journey home which hopefully will end around 9:00 pm tonight. I hope you day will be a good one.
My prayer of blessing today is that God will bless our Saturday with joy, energy, fun, rest, relaxation and peace. If we are traveling today, like me, may God bless us with safe travels. If we are working today, may God bless us with the energy to work quickly and productively. And if we are just enjoying the gift of a Saturday may God bless our day with family, friends, smiles, laughter and love! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: God of all life, there are days when the burdens we carry weigh heavy on our shoulders and wear us down; when roads seem long, dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost courage. Bless us on these days with a path flooded with your light and hope, turn our eyes to where the skies are blue and full of promise, grace our feet with the energy that will bring us home, and life the burdens from our shoulders so that we may embrace life with joy and love! Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by St. Augustine of Hippo)

However, wanting to be your people of faith, your people of love, we do not want to be this way, to treat people this way anymore. So, we ask you for the grace and strength to learn how to be forgiving people today and always. We want to learn how to forgive and also how to ask for forgiveness when we struggle and fail. Help us God to be a forgiving people just as you are forgiving! We pray this today and always the Jesus Christ, your Son and our friend. Amen!
