Today’s Prayer: Compassionate God; bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, exploitation of people and the earth, so that we may strive for justice, equality and peace. Bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer, so that we will reach out our hands to comfort them and to change their pain into joy. Bless us with a foolishness to think that we can make a difference in the world, so that we will begin to do the things that others say cannot be done. Amen!

Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Sunday is getting off to a good start. In a few minutes I will continue my journey to Manitowoe, Wisconsin where I will begin a retreat for the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity later today. I drove almost eight hundred miles yesterday and I guess I have a little over two hundred left. If you have a chance this morning please offer a prayer for safe travel.
My prayer of blessing today is that we will be blessed with the spirit of faith to help us on our journey through life today. May we be blessed with the spirit of hope to get us through the rough times. May we be blessed with the spirit of love to remind us in whose image and likeness we are created, how special we are and that we are never alone. As we journey through this Sunday may we know that God is with us always and will never leave us to face our struggles alone! Sunday blessings everyone and remember to give God a little time today! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Christ has no body but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world, ours are the feet with which he walks to do good, ours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Ours are the hands, ours are the feet, ours are the eyes, we are his body. Christ has no body now but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but ours. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Teresa of Avila) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday blessings to everyone! I hope your day is starting off well. Mine is starting early and will be a long day as I hit the road today. In a little while I will begin my journey to Manitowoc, Wisconsin where I will begin a retreat for sisters, tomorrow evening. So today will be a long driving day. If you get a chance could you say a little prayer for safe travels today and tomorrow, please!
My prayer of blessing for all of us today is that our day will be blessed with the joy and peace of a summer’s day. That today will find us rich in family, friends and the joy that they can bring. That we will be graced with rest, relaxation, fun, laughter and peace. That we will notice God’s loving presence all around us and find hope and joy within that presence. And it we are traveling that we will do it with ease and be safe on our journey. Have a great day everyone and don’t forget to give God a little time this weekend! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, here I am, your child, at your disposal. Use me to continue your loving presence in the world, by giving Jesus to me and through me, to each person I meet and to the world. Let us pray for each other that we allow Jesus to love in us and through us with the love with which his Father loves us. Bless us with the Spirit’s grace in us and through us so that we may be your loving presence in the world today! Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
