Today’s Blessing Prayer: Friday greetings and blessing to all. I hope you are continuing to navigate through these Mid-September 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) This is the last day of retreat at the Wartburg Home so once again I ask for your prayer for all who have journeyed with me on retreat this week and I ask once last prayer for their preacher! I would also ask you to continue to keep my Passionist brother, who lives here is Pelham and who had surgery yesterday. I do not know the outcome of the surgery yet, but please offer a prayer for his quick recovery and good health going forward. Thanks! For all of us I offer a prayer of blessing as this morning begins and as our journey through this day starts. May whatever kind of roads we take today be smooth and not crowded for our journeys, may the wind be gentle and always helping us along, may the sun shine warm upon our face helping us to smile, and if it rains may it fall gently upon us as we journey and, until the sun rises again tomorrow, may God hold us and all whom we love in the palm of His hand so nothing will harm us. Amen! Have a great Friday everyone. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
