Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greeting and blessings to all! I hope you are navigating through these April Easter Season days with faith and a sense of hopefulness!
As we begin our Saturday, 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) Thank you for your prayers yesterday our first May Taping Day went smoothly and I believe was a success. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. My prayer of blessing as we enter our day is that our life and our day will be blessed with the Spirit of God’s presence in the things we do today, in the people we encounter by phone, the internet or in person and, in the gifts and blessings this day. May we come to know God today through the living of life and may our living of life today be filled with joy like Paul and Barnabas in our first reading today. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul

Today’s Prayer: God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all good gifts, we thank you for the gift of life - for the breath that sustains us, for the food that nurtures us and for the love of family and friends without which there would be no life.
We thank you for the mystery of creation - for the beauty that the eye can see, for the joy that the ear may hear, for the unknown that we cannot behold because it fills the universe with wonder, for the expanse of space that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves. We thank you for setting us in communities - for families who nurture our becoming, for friends who love us by choice, for companions at work, who share our burdens and daily tasks, for strangers who welcome us into their midst, for people from other lands who call us to grow in understanding, for children who lighten our moments with delight, for the unborn, who offer us hope for the future. We thank you for this day - for life, for one more day to love, for the opportunity to work one more day for justice and peace, for neighbors, for one more person to love and by whom be loved, for your grace and one more experience of your presence, for your promise to be with us, to be our God, and to give salvation. For these and all blessings, we give you thanks, loving God. Amen. (Adapted from Prayer of Thanksgiving on beliefnet.com) Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessings this morning. I hope you are navigating through these April Easter Season days with faith and a sense of hopefulness. Perhaps, we should draw strength for Jesus’ words in the Gospel today, “Let not our hearts be troubled, but let us have faith in God and faith in Jesus!”
As we begin our Friday, 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.

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) I ask your prayers today because we have our second April Taping Day for the Sunday Mass today, so I ask your prayers for the Sunday Mass Ministry Team and Production Team today that things will go smoothly! Your prayers will be greatly appreciated. My prayer of blessing is that God will bless all of us this day with the Spirit of knowing the way and throughout this day our hearts will not be troubled because we have faith in God and in Jesus always. May God’s blessings be upon our Friday, and upon our journey through this day and upon all the things, experience and people that try to bring trouble into our hearts. May we all have a productive, peaceful, safe, healthy and Spirit filled day. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Joy in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul Today’s Prayer: Gracious God, who made the covenant promise with our ancestors, we begin this day a rebellious people. We want to act out your intentions for us, but we keep getting mixed up by all the glitter of the world around us. You tell us to honor creation, and we use other people, animals and plant life only to meet our wants. You offer daily bread to every living creature, and we steal that bread from our sisters and brothers in the name of greed. You promise us new life, and we shrink back from it is fear. Heal us, God, lest we destroy ourselves. We need your presence among us. Amen. (Adapted from the United Nations Environmental Sabbath Prayer)

Paul Today’s Prayer: O God, let us draw upon the inspiration of St. Mark today, who proclaimed the Good News through his preaching and writing.

Give us the strength to proclaim your mercy, your love, your hope and your presence to the world we encounter today. Help us to find your presence, your image and likeness within ourselves.
