Today’s Blessing Prayer: Monday and Memorial Day greetings and blessings to everyone! I hope you are continuing to navigate through these Easter Season and May 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) Today, Memorial Day, is a day to remember all who have given their lives over the years is service of our country, protecting our freedom. We pray that someday we will find a way to live in peace so that in the words of the Prophet Isaiah 2:4, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again.” Remembering all who gave their lives in hope of peace! My prayer of blessing today is that our Memorial Day, our Monday, our week will be blessed with many wonderful and life-giving experiences. If we can take sometime today to smell the flowers, to enjoy the colors of creation and to let ourselves be loved! May God bless our journey through this day with his grace and presence in whatever we do, in whatever or whomever we encounter and in the living of this day. let us be mindful as we live this day of those who gave their lives at some moment in time so that we might live in freedom and peace. Peace in Christ’s Passion and Hope in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul
