Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all and welcome to the last day of November! I hope you are navigating through this last day of November with faith and hopefulness for the future.
As we bring an end to the month of November and begin a new day, 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 today is that God will be with us as we enter this new day. May God bless all our endeavors today, all our meetings and encounters with others, all our projects, work and responsibilities today. May God bless our busyness and our quiet time. May God bless us and all whom we love with a day filled with his grace, hope, joy, love and peace. May God also bless us with a faith-filled journey through this day, through Advent and always! Have a holy and blessed Thursday everyone. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: O God, you keep us waiting for the right time in which to discover who we are, where we must go, who will be with us, and what we must do. And in all of this, you keep us. Through hard questions with no easy answers; through failing where we hoped to succeed and making an impact when we felt we were useless; through the patience and the dreams and the love of others, you keep us. Thank you for the keeping time, now and forever. Amen. (A Prayer from the Iona Community Worship Book)
