Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday greetings and blessing to all. I hope your weekend is going well. As the sun comes up it looks to be a nice day here in the New York area. I hope the same is true but you.
My prayer of blessings for all of us as we journey through our Sunday is that it may be a good one. May we live by faith today and trust in the gift that we are. May God recognize our faith and bless us with the trust and willingness to let go and let God. If we are struggling with our faith may we find the strength to trust in the presence of God in our life. Blessings today upon all that we do, upon everyone we meet and most importantly upon all of us and let us not forget to give God a little time today. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer:
Loving God grant that we may never fall away in success or in failure; that we may not be prideful in prosperity nor dejected in adversity. Let us rejoice only in what unites us and sorrow only in what separates us. May we strive to please no one or fear to displease anyone except you. May we see always the things that are eternal and never those that are only mundane. May we shun any joy that is without you and never seek any that is beside you. May we delight in any work we do for you and tire of any rest that is apart from you. Let us direct our hearts towards you, and in our failings, always repent with a purpose of improvement. Loving God may we always live by faith! Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your day has started off well. It is a cloudy morning here in the New York area. I would like to thank you for your prayers yesterday, while it was a long day of taping The Sunday Mass it was a good day and so I thank everyone who offered a prayer or two for us.
As I begin this new day my prayer for all of us is that we will have a good journey through this 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 we 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 all of us! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
The Cross of My Lord, Be my Standard, Be my Comfort, Be the Answer to all dark questions, The Light of all nights, The Sign that You have chosen us, The mysterious and sure Sign that we are Yours for eternity. Amen. (Prayer by Fr. Karl Rahner, S.J.) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your Friday has started off well.
It is Taping Day! The first one of our new season so there is much going on today. In a few moments I will make my way over the bridge to our place Jamaica, Queens, NY. Please keep The Sunday Mass team/crew in your prayers today. I hope you will have a great Friday and that you encounter many blessings today and much peace. My prayer for all of us today is that we will be graced by God in whatever we do, and may we bring God’s grace to whomever we meet! May we work, pray, travel, study, laugh, cry, talk, be silent, be intense or relaxed today rich in the blessing and presence of God. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Daily Prayer: God of life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and wear us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with your light, we pray; turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise and where music fills our life. Amen (Adapted from a prayer by St. Augustine of Hippo)
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Thursday is starting off well. It is a cloudy morning here in the New York area and it is trying to rain. The humidity from yesterday is still with us so you might say it is a bit of an uncomfortable morning. I hope the weather is a little better by you today.
It will be a busy day for me as this is set-up day for tomorrow’s Sunday Mass taping day. So, in a little while I will head to Jamaica to set-up for tomorrow. Please keep the crew of The Sunday Mass in your prayers tomorrow! My blessing prayer for all us this day is that God will touch our day with many blessings. May God bless our work, the people we encounter and love and us. Please know as you live life today you are in my prayers! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Jesus, you are the love that gives love. You are higher than the highest star; you are deeper than the deepest sea; you cherish us as your own family; you embrace us as a valued loved one; you guide us as trusted disciples; you welcome us as your dearest friends. Let all the world praise you today and always. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by St. Hildegard of Bingen)
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all! May we pause this morning to remember what happened that Tuesday Eighteen years ago and how it changed our lives. Perhaps you will think about where you were and what you felt as the tragic events of that day unfolded. Yet, here we are eighteen years later still searching for peace!
My thoughts and prayers today go out to all affected by the events of that day especially to the children who lost mothers and fathers. Nothing can fill the void of their loss. May what remains unfilled always keep them connected to the gift of the person, the treasure they lost! My thoughts are also will all the people who still struggle with the events of that day either physically because of illnesses they have now, emotionally or even spiritually. My prayers are with all of you this day and always. I cannot help but reflect upon where we find ourselves today with the reality of so many wars, so many violence acts, so much anger, so little tolerance, so much need to blame, so much finger pointing, so much yelling, so much hate, so much condemnation, so much arrogance, so much self-centeredness, so little compassion, so little forgiveness, so little mercy, so little caring, so little chance for peace it seems – so my prayer of blessing for all of us today is - to ask God’s blessing upon us, may it be a solemn blessing rich in peace, strong in courage and graced by love. And may it be a blessing that we will bring it to those we love and to the piece of the world that we will touch today. May God bless us with the insight to see the gift, the treasure that we are and that we will share it with the world! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
God of all peace and conciliation, For those who went into danger, we give thanks. For those who remained behind with the infirm and injured, we give thanks. For those who thought of others first, we give thanks. For those who offered comfort to others, we give thanks. For moments of unknown, grant us courage. In times of fear, grant us courage. When called upon to stand for the rights of others, grant us courage. When others call for our destruction, grant us courage. When the enemies of freedom lash out, bless us with your peace When the darkness of hatred descends, bless us with your peace When we feel the urge to trample and destroy, bless us with your peace When we look to the future of your universe, bless us with your peace Through the living of life, let us be your peace. Amen! (Adapted from a prayer by Rabbi Matt Friedman) |
