Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all on this Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these December and late Fall 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) The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is the Patronal Feast Day of the United States, so we pray through Mary today asking for a sense of calm and peace at these unsettling times in our history. Through the gentleness and strength of Mary may we come to see each other as the good people God has created us to be and work together for unity, justice, and peace for all. My prayer of blessing for all us today is – Loving Mary, one who said yes to the giver of all good gifts, intercede for us today so that God will bless us with hearts that love, so that by deepening our sense of respect and reverence for you, for God we may nurture within ourselves and others only what is good. May God bless us with a watchful care throughout this day so that wherever we go and whatever we do it will be for, in and through God. May God’s blessing bring us home safe to those we love that we might celebrate the gift of family, of friendship, of community, of joy and love so that our sleep will be restful, and we will be energized to welcome you tomorrow! Blessings upon everyone as you journey through this day! Let us live this day in the spirit of Mary’s “yes!” Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
