Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope you are continuing to navigate through these cold mid-December days 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) Today is the feast of St. John of the Cross, a Carmelite priest and along with St. Teresa of Avila helped to reform the Carmelites and reform them into the Discalced Carmelites. He is a Doctor of the Church and a mystic. He pictured the spiritual life in his writings as the journey of the soul to divine union with God. We call upon his spirit to enliven our journey today. My prayer of blessing for all of us today is – Loving God, through the gift of your presence during this new day in our lives help us as we walk amid passing things to always love the things of heaven and hold fast to what endures. Bless us all with your gifts of mercy and hope that we may bring your presence to whomever we meet and to every place we go! Amen! Blessings to all today, travel safely and enjoy the gift of this day. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
