Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your day is starting off well. I am taking a few days of rest and relaxation in Lake Placid, New York this week so my reflections might come to you a little later than usual. I hope you don’t mind!
My prayer of blessing for all of you today is that as you journey through your day may it be a good journey. May you live by faith and trust in the gift that you are. May you place your gift, your light, on a stand in the middle of the room so that it will give light to the whole house, to everywhere you go and to everyone you meet. Blessings today upon all you do, upon everyone you meet and most importantly upon all of you! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire you with a whole heart, so that desiring you we may seek you with a whole heart and find you; and so finding you, may love you, and loving you may hate those sins which separate us from you, for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen (St. Anselm of Canterbury)

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: Saturday greetings and blessings of rest and peace to all today!

O God, seek us, O God, find us In your patient care; Be your love before, behind us, Be around us, everywhere: Lest the gods of this world blind us, Lest they speak us fair, Lest they forge a chain to bind us, Lest they bait a snare, Turn not from us, call to mind us, Find, embrace us, bear; Be your love before, behind us, Be around us, everywhere. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Christina Rossetti) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessing to all.

I would like to continue to remember the people of Mexico, Puerto Rico and all the other place affected by earthquakes and hurricanes. For all of you I offer a prayer of blessing as this morning begins and as your journey through this day starts. May whatever kind of roads you take today be smooth and not crowded for your journeys, may the wind be gentle and always helping you along, may the sun shine warm upon your face helping you to smile, and if it rains may it fall gently upon you as you journey and, until the sun rises again tomorrow, may God hold you and all whom you love in the palm of His hand so nothing will harm them and you. Amen! Have a great Friday everyone. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God help us to be grateful today. Help us to recognize your love in everything you have given us, because we know, we believe that you have has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of your love, every moment of existence is a grace, because it brings with it immense graces from you.
Gracious God, in gratitude we must never take anything for granted. We must never be unresponsive to your love. We must constantly be awakening to new wonder and giving praise for your awesome goodness. We want to be grateful people because we know that a grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And this is what makes all the difference. Amen! (Adapted from words by Thomas Merton) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to everyone! I would like to continue to remember the people of Mexica as they deal with the destruction of an earthquake and all that it brings to life and the people of Puerto Rico as they deal with the destruction of a hurricane and all it brings to life. Each new day seems to bring a great need for prayer beyond ourselves!
My prayer for all you today is that God will touch your day whether it is a busy one or not with many blessings. May God bless your work, your travels, the people you encounter, the people you love and you with the grace to find hope, joy and love in life this day. Please know as you live life today you are in my prayers! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God, sometimes we look in the mirror we are not too happy with what I see. We see imperfection, self-centeredness and ego. Please help us to see the person you created in your own image and likeness, a person of beauty, compassion and love. Help us to hold this image in our mind and heart as we live the journey of life in our own unique way. Allow others to see your image within us as we live with confidence, grace and a smile on our face. Amen.
