Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all on this Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! I hope you are once gain navigating through these early Summer and late June days with faith and hope 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 today is that God will bless all of us with a beautiful day, one in which we will celebrate the gift of life. May we be blessed with a day that is fun and filled with moments and encounters of joy and hope. May we be blessed with a day of rest and enjoyment. Please know as always, you are in my prayers and have a blessed, holy, and healthy day. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer:
All Loving God, as we honor the Immaculate Heart of Mary this day, we ask that by the help of her prayers we might strengthen our own hearts and come to share your blessings this day and always. O holy Mary, mother of all mercy, you are our life, our love and our hope. This day we call out to you, in all our humanness, in all our failings. To you we send our prayers, our thoughts, our tears, our joys. Turn your eyes, O most loving Mother toward us that we might always hold the presence of your Loving Son in our lives. O Compassionate, O Loving, O Tender Mother Mary. Direct our prayers always though Christ, your Son, our Savior. Amen!

May all our endeavors be blessed today, all our encounters with others, and all our work today. Most of all may our Friday be blessed with smiles, good weather, interesting people, wonderful experiences, fun, joy, faith, hope, mercy, and the presence of God! Peace in the Sacred Heart of Christ and his Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: We come to you Jesus on the Solemnity of your most Sacred Heart, for you are our refuge and our hope. You are the strength that keeps us going through all that is wrong in our lives, the forgiveness for all our faults and failings, the comfort for all our struggles, the peace for all our anxieties, the enhancement for all our imperfections, and the hope in all our prayers.
You are the only one who never wearies of us and who offers us grace in the midst of our faults, because you love us so much with an infinite love. You are the one always in search of us especially when we follow a different path. So, we ask you, loving Jesus, to have mercy on us and do with us, and be for us, and be within us, whatever you want. We give our hearts to you, hoping that the gift of love that flows from your most Sacred Heart will never leave us to face the struggles and difficulties of life alone. Amen.

Remember, “Seek God and you will find God and every good thing as well!” (Meister Eckhart) May you be rich in the spirit of John the Baptist today. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, it is hard sometimes to believe that you are present in this world of ours. But with the help of your grace we do believe it! So, in the spirit of your faithful prophet, John the Baptist today, please help us to live our life in such a way that it will be easier for others to recognize you. When we find doubt, help us to bring a little light. Where we find discouragement, let us be a ray of hope in the darkness. To those who feel estranged and alienated from you and your Church, let us be like a bridge and when we encounter people who have been hurt or feel misunderstood, grace us with the wisdom to leave only the imprint of your healing love and compassion. Loving God, wherever we go and to whomsoever we meet, help us to be an instrument of your compassion, love and peace. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by Sr. Bernice Kuper, S.P.)
