Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings of rest and peace to all today! 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) Thank you for all your prayers this week for the people on retreat at the Wartburg Home. The retreat seems to have gone well. Everyone I spoke with was grateful for the time, the experience and the Goodnews proclaimed. Also thank you for your prayer for my Passionist brother who lives here in Pelham. His surgery on Thursday seems to have gone well. He is recovering and it will take a few days to a week to see if the surgery achieved its purpose fully. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. My prayer of blessing for all of us today is that God will bless all our endeavors, our encounters, our times of solitude, our moments of busyness and our times of rest today. May this day be what we need it to be. May it be a gift from God that enables us to find the presence of God in our life, especially within ourselves! Have a great Saturday and don’t forget to give a little time to God this weekend. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
