Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope and pray you continue to navigate through these last days before Christmas with faith and 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) Before I offer you today’s blessing, I just want to apologize for not posting the last three days. Over the weekend I traveled to St. Louis for the baptism of my newest grandniece, and I decided once I got there that I would unplug in order to just enjoy family time. So, in case you were wondering what happened to my reflections, prayers and blessings the last few days this is the reason. I traveled back home yesterday, so here I am back. I hope your fourth weekend of Advent went well and that you find yourself in the home stretch of Advent ready for the celebration of Christmas! I have to say I enjoyed my unplugged weekend, but it is nice to be back with you once again! In the spirit of Mary’s “yes” that is proclaimed in the Gospel today I offer my blessing prayer – Loving God, bless us this day with the confidence, the faith, the trust and the hope to always respond with a “yes” to your invitation to live life. Help us to be people of joy, of peace and of commitment. Grace us with the strength to move beyond negativity of this world and see the possible in the impossible. Protected us today, in our travels, our endeavors, in our busyness and gift us with many experiences of your love. Loving God bless us all this day and always. Amen. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
