Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessing to all. I hope your Friday has started off well and that today will be a somewhat easy day for you. If not and you have many challenges and/or struggles ahead before the day is done hang in there and know of my prayers for you. Remember it is only a day there is a lifetime ahead!
For all of us I offer a prayer of blessing as this morning begins and as our journey through this day starts. May whatever kind of roads we take today be smooth and not crowded for our journeys, may the wind be gentle and always helping us along, may the sun shine warm upon our face helping us to smile, and if it rains may it fall gently upon us as we journey and, until the sun rises again tomorrow, may God hold us and all whom we love in the palm of His hand so nothing will harm us. 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!

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.

Today’s Prayer:
Loving God, Thank you for your presence during the hard and mean days. For then we have you to lean upon. Thank you for your presence during the bright and sunny days. For then we can share that which we have with those who have less. Thank you for your presence during the Holy Days and Holidays. For then we are able to celebrate you and our families and our friends. For those who have no voice, we ask you to speak. For those who feel unworthy, we ask you to pour your love out in waterfalls of tenderness. For those who live in pain, we ask you to bathe them in the river of your healing. For those who are lonely, we ask you to keep them company. For those who are depressed, we ask you to shower upon them the light of hope. Loving God, You, the borderless sea of substance, we ask you to give to all the world that which we need most—Peace. (Adapted from a Prayer by Maya Angelou) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend. As I look out my window towards the morning sky it is a cloudy morning and it even tried to rain earlier but I believe the sun will appear at some point today. I hope the same is true for you.
My prayer for all of us as we journey through this day is that we will have a good day. May we live by faith today and trust in the gift that we are. May God recognize our faith and bless us with the unconditional love that we are reminded of each time we look upon his cross. If any of us are struggling today may we find the grace of hope, peace and love to see us through this day. Blessings today upon all we do, upon everyone we meet and most importantly upon each one of us! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own. You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me. (The Suscipe by St. Ignatius Loyola) |
