Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I want to keep the people of Texas and Louisiana in my prayers today especially those who live along the Gulf Coast. It is going to be a long few days for them and difficult days too. So, we pray that they come through this storm and look to better days ahead.
My prayer of blessing for all of you today is that your weekend will be a restful and relaxing far from the busyness that life often heaps upon us. I pray you have had a good weekend whether you were working, vacationing or traveling. I also pray that your day will be blessed with people that will gift your life with laughter, smiles and fun. Don’t forget to give a little time to God this weekend. Remember one hour is not a lot of time and God will appreciate hearing from you! Enjoy your Saturday. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Daily Prayer: O God, teach us to be generous to serve you as you deserve to be served, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fear of being wounded, to work without seeking rest and to spend ourselves without expecting any reward but the knowledge that we are doing your holy will. Amen (Adapted from a prayer by St. Ignatius of Loyola)

My prayer of blessing today for you is that God will bless us with his love today. May God bless us with a love that challenges us to love God, love others and love ourselves! May our Friday not be too busy and may we be blessed with a beautiful, restful, relaxing weekend! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God, teach us to love as you love. Help us to make our love unconditional, honest, and kind. Help us to ask nothing in return and to let our love encompass the whole of humankind.
Loving God, let us offer our love without speaking. Let it radiate as it shines forth from us. Let it be seen in our faces, in our eyes, and let it be simple, sincere, and shame free. Loving God, show us how to forgive as you forgive and help us to not burden another with guilt. Help us to not play the role of the martyr but to be a rock on which trust may be built. Loving God, let our love for you and others be greater by far than any love that is offered to us. Let our love be always led by the Spirit, inspired of you our God and as forgiving and free as Jesus’ love. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Virginia (Ginny) Ellis) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all!

In the spirit of the Gospel today my prayer of blessing this morning is that God will bless your day with the grace of gratitude for the generosity of God. May you be blessed throughout this day and always with the compassion, mercy, love and generousness of God in the places you go, in the people you meet, in the things you do and in the gift of who you are in this world today! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
We live today… Christ with us, Christ before us, Christ behind us, Christ in us, Christ beneath us, Christ above us, Christ on our right, Christ on our left, Christ when we lie down, Christ when we sit down, Christ when we arise, Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of us, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of us, Christ in every eye that sees us, Christ in every ear that hears us. We live today… Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation. We live today…Thankful for a generous and loving God! Amen. Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greeting and blessing to all. I hope your day has started off well and that you are seeing clearly the day ahead. If not, perhaps you should ask for your money back on the solar eclipse glasses you bought.

I would like to send a shout out to my two classmates Fr. Melvin and Fr. Chris on this our 35 Anniversary of taking our vows with the Passionists. We started out as seven and now there is only three. I am honored to share this important life moment with Fr. Melvin and Fr. Chris. I wish them the best today and I hope they take a little time to celebrate and know that I will. Thanks also to the Passionists for accepting us and giving great purpose and meaning to our lives. So it is Happy 35th today! My prayer of blessing for us today is a simple litany asking God to help us along the way – Loving God, we pray for your blessing today in the midst of our busy life. If we find ourselves struggling with the heat of summer reminds us of the cold days of winter. If we are under the weather touch us with your healing presence. If we are busy guide us to a moment of peace. If we are frustrated grace us with an acknowledgement of the gift that you are. If we find ourselves angry today help us to let it go. If we find ourselves alone embrace us so that we know that are not. O God, bless us with what we need to live our life this day! May we live with a sense of gratitude today so that we will be blessed with good day and graced with God’s love in all our endeavors. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
Loving God, we come before you in grateful prayer today. We are grateful for this moment of life. We are grateful for each breath we take. We are grateful for our life. And so, we thank you for our challenges for they help us to grow. We thank you for our many gifts for they help us to smile. We thank you for our many circles of support for they hold our hand. We thank you for our body for it is our vehicle of living. We thank you for our heart for it reminds us to love. We thank you for our mind for its abundance. We thank you for our friendship with you for it inspires us. Loving God, we thank you and we are grateful for life and the opportunity to live it with you! Amen. |
