​Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessing to all. I hope you are continuing to navigate through these unusual and at times difficult days with faith and a hopefulness for the future.
 
Once again as we journey through this uncertain time, 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)
 
My prayer of blessing for all of us today is that this day will be rich in God’s gifts of love, hope and peace. That if we encounter anger, violence and negativity it will be short lived because we are blessed with loving, caring people in our life. I pray that we will be open to the many ways that God will touch our life today especially through scripture and prayer and that we will trust in the gift of God that we are and that we will bring this gift to every person we encounter, to every place we go and to every experience we have. May God bless us and be with us today and always. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer:
O Loving God, show your mercy to us
And gladden our hearts today.
We are like the man on the way to Jericho
Who was overtaken by robbers,
Wounded and left for dead.
O Good Samaritan,
Come to our aid.
We are like the sheep that went astray
O Good Shepherd,
Seek us out and bring us home
In accord with your will
Let us dwell in your house
All the days of our life
And praise you for ever and ever
With those who are there.
Amen.
(Adapted from the Prayer of Saint Jerome for Christ’s Mercy)

My prayer of blessing today is to ask St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael, the three archangels whom we celebrate today to protect, guide and help us as we journey through this day and life. May they bring God’s grace, joy and love into our life and energize us with strength, goodness and love that we might share with whomever we encounter today. May St. Michael make our journeys and our day safe, may St. Gabriel bring us God’s Good News throughout the day and may St. Raphael bring God’s healing love to our hurts, struggles and negative encounters this day! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

​Today’s Prayer:
Loving God, you have given us archangels to assist us during our pilgrimage on earth.  Saint Michael is our protector; so, we ask him to come to our aid, to watch over all our loved ones, and to protect all of us from danger. Saint Gabriel is a messenger of the Good News; so, we ask him to help us to clearly hear your voice, to teach us your truth and to help us find the joy of your Word! Saint Raphael is the healing angel; so, we ask him to take to you all our prayers for healing, lifting all in need of healing into your presence so that through your mercy, love and grace they may be delivered back to us through your gift of healing.
 
Help us, O God, to realize more fully the gift of Michael, Gabriel and Raphael and their desire to serve us. Archangels, protect, guide and help us through this journey of life. Amen.

My prayer for all of us today is that we will have a great day filled with many blessings, much love and feelings of peace.

Help us this day to live in the present moment and to look beyond ourselves to those in need and who bring your presence into our life. Amen!

My prayer of blessing today is that our journey through Sunday 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.

May this day be what we need it to be. May it be a gift from God that enables us to find the present of God in our life, especially within ourselves.

Let us and all the world praise you today and always! Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Hildegard of Bingen)
