Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to everyone! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these Fall October days with faith and a hopefulness for the future.
Once again, 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 God will bless all our endeavors, our encounters, our times of solitude, our moments of busyness and our times of rest today. 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. Have a holy and blessed Saturday and don’t forget to give a little time to God this weekend. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: Give us grace, loving God, to address you with all our hearts as well as our lips. You are present everywhere; from you no secrets can be hidden. Teach us to fix our thoughts on you, reverently and with love, so that our prayers are not in vain but are acceptable to you, now and always. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by Jane Austen)

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) A special shout out today to the Carmelite Sisters of the Aged and Infirmed on their feast day – May the spirit of St. Teresa of Avila enliven them this day and always! In the Gospel (Luke 12: 1-7)) today, as I said earlier, Jesus tells his disciples, “Do not be afraid.” So as a hopefully a faithful disciple and preacher I ask God to bless all of us with the courage and strength to not be afraid as we go through your day and life. I ask God’s blessing on any of us who find ourselves sick and or struggling in some way may this blessing bring all who need it healing and peace! But most importantly I ask God’s blessing upon us so that we will always know that we are never alone that God is standing with us and will never leave us to face our perils, to face life alone! All of us are worth much more than many sparrows! Have a great Friday everyone and may the wonderful spirit of St. Teresa of Avila, guide us through this day! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
Christ has no body but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world, ours are the feet with which he walks to do good, ours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world. Ours are the hands, ours are the feet, ours are the eyes, we are his body. Christ has no body now but ours, no hands, no feet on earth but ours, ours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world. Christ has no body now on earth but ours. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Teresa of Avila) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all!

Paul Today’s Prayer: Out of the depths we cry out to you, O Lord. The depths of love and life, the depths of dedication and surrender to your life, the depths of suffering that all may live in peace and dignity. In this mystery of life we wait for you, O Lord, more than sentinels wait for the dawn. In this mystery of life, Lord, let all the ends of the earth see your salvation and sing joyfully to Jesus our Redeemer and life. (Adapted from a Prayer by Fr. Carroll Stuhlmueller, C.P.)

May you bring God’s presence to every experience and each moment of this day. May the world you journey through be a better place because of you today. And at the end of the day may you smile with the tired satisfaction that because of you today was a good day! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr.

Lord, teach us to be generous; Teach us to serve you as you deserve; To give and not to count the cost; To fight and not to heed the wounds; To toil, and not to seek for rest; To labor, and not to ask for reward – except to know that we are doing your will.
