Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your day has started off well!
My prayer of blessing today comes from something I ran across a few years ago, it is a blessing prayer that seems to be credited to both St. Thérèse of Liseaux and St. Teresa of Ávila. So, I thank them both for their words of wisdom that I use today… Loving God I prayer for family and friends today, for all who ask me to pray for them or to remember a prayer request that they have, and I pray for all who are in need of prayer today. What follows Lord, is my prayer for them - so please bless them with your presence however they may need it today. For all in need of prayer today – “May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. Today - Amen!” Loving God bless family, friends and all in need today with this prayer! Have a blessed and faith filled Monday everyone! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday greetings and blessing to all and happy Feast of Christ the King! I hope your Sunday has started off well.
As we journey through this last Sunday of the Church year, let us offer a prayer for peace. A prayer for peace in everyone’s heart, in everyone’s soul, in everyone’s life! My prayer of blessing is that we all will have a blessed and holy Sunday. May we celebrate this day with joy and peace for this is the Day that the Lord has made so let us rejoice and be glad. May there always be work for us to do. May our pockets and purses always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on our windowpanes. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of family, a loved one and a friend always be near, and may God fill our hearts with gladness and love that we in turn can share! May the blessing of Christ the Shepherd and Servant King be upon us today and always. Don’t forget to give God a little time sometime today. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving God, help us to look beyond the earthly images of king and find your loving presence in our life this day and always. May it lead us to truth, life, holiness, grace, justice, joy and peace. May it make us true workers in your eternal kingdom of love! Amen!
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all. I hope your Saturday is starting off well.
My prayer of blessing today is that our day will be blessed with the warmth of the sun lighting up a beauty of God’s creation. If the gift of the sun is not available, then may we be at least touched by the warmth of many smiles greeting us and guiding us through the gift of all the experiences that this day will bring. May our day be rich in the blessings of God’s grace, mercy, hope, joy and love wherever we go and in and through whomever we meet. And may we always be blessed in finding God’s presence within ourselves! Have a wonderful Saturday with many blessings! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, source of all life, keep us faithful. Grant that we will always recognize the gift of life in all people and may we always be your children in truth and love. Amen!
Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your day has started off well.
Today, I am celebrating the 68th anniversary of my baptism. Yes, 66 years ago on November 22, 1953, 20 days after I was born, I was welcomed into the Church. Thanks to my parents I was dedicated to God this day and welcomed into this wonderful faith community called Church. And just 56 years ago we mourned as a nation the loss of our president. Yes, 56 years ago today President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, TX. Unfortunately, we still mourn people being shot in our nation not just by terrorists, but by one another. Still no gun laws, still no respect for human life, still no peace! My prayer of blessing for all of us today is – Loving God keep us alert today and always to your unpredictable answers, to your unexplainable surprises and to your unrelenting presence. By your grace and love, make us ever grateful that we are one of your surprises each day of our lives. Bless us today and always with a faith, that moves mole hills and mountains, has often an unseen healing touch, lives everyday stories, celebrates simple suppers, and carries Crosses of Life which turn into Resurrections of hope. Help us to be people of faith, hope and love who are positive, respectful and open to all that is good and life giving. Amen. Blessings to all today! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, make us all witnesses of truth, justice and neighborly love. Banish for our hearts whatever might endanger peace. Enlighten our leaders that they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace. May all peoples of the earth become sisters and brothers. May longed-for-peace blossom forth and reign always over us. Amen (Adapted from a prayer by St. John XXIII) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all! I hope your day has started off well.
Today is the feast of The Presentation of Mary a day when many religious, especially women religious take their vows and/or renew their vows. So, a special shout out to all taking or renewing their vows today may the spirit of Mary guide, strengthen and grace you on your journey through this life you have accepted and are trying to live out. My prayer of blessing for all of us today... Loving God bless us – Bless us and keep us safe. Let your face shine upon us and show us your compassion especially in those moments when we may struggle. May your love and peace embrace us, all whom we meet and especially those whom we love. May our journeys be safe, and may we find our way home tonight or to a place where we can enjoy your gift of rest. Amen! Blessings to all and enjoy your Thursday! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Loving Mary, our mother, please give us a heart like yours, firm in its attachments and of unshakable loyalty; an affectionate heart that radiates a discreet tenderness; a pure heart that lives in the flesh without being burdened by it; a generous heart, quick in letting go of its hurts and always ready to forgive; a magnanimous heart that rejoices in other’s triumphs and shares in their sorrows; a heart that condemns no one and does not tire of being confided to; a heart taken up by Christ, totally given to his infinite love. Amen. (Adapted from a Traditional Prayer)
