Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your Friday is starting off out well.
Let us continue to pray for the Synod on the Amazon taking place in Rome these days of October. May the Holy Spirit guide and direct the thoughts, reflections and discussions of those involved so that they may truly be a bridge to the future. In a few minutes I will be heading our to our Monastery and parish in Jamaica, Queen for a Sunday Mass Taping Day. I would ask you to keep the Sunday Mass Team in your prayers today as we continue our mission and ministry of bringing the Sunday Mass to people who cannot get out to mass. My prayer of blessing for all of us today comes from the words of St. Paul – Today I say to all of us as we live this day: rejoice! Let me say it again: rejoice! As we live today let our kindness be known to all. Let us have faith that God is always near. Let us live today with no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make our requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, my friends in the Passion, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, let us think about these things. And let us keep on doing what we have learned and received and heard and seen in the people of faith around us. If we do this then the God of peace will be with us today and always. (Adapted from the words of St. Paul to the Philippians) Blessings to all! Have a great Friday! Peace in Christ Passion…Fr. Paul
