Daily Blessing: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Wednesday has started off well and that you will find the rest of the week downhill so to speak. I would also like to send a shout out to everyone at the Passionist Monastery and Shrine Basilica of St. Ann in Scranton today who are celebrating the Feast of St. Ann and Joachim. Happy Feast of St. Ann and St. Joachim! May your feast day celebration truly be blessed.
My prayer of blessing today is that God's blessings will be upon your life today and as you live out this day may you come to know that you are loved and that you bring the love and grace of God to others. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
