Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday blessings and greetings to all. I hope you are continuing to navigate through these July 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) Day 5 of the Solemn Novena to St. Ann. I am still standing, and I continue to ask your prayers for all who are making this novena and if you could say an extra prayer for the preacher, it would be greatly appreciated. A special mass today for the sick! Have a great day blessed with the presence of God. May God bless us all in a special way today with a strong faith to believe in the treasure that we carry within us and that we are! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
