Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all I hope and pray you are continuing to navigate through these late January 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) Once again as I did yesterday, I would ask you to keep the Passionists of the Province of St. Paul of the Cross in your prayers today as they gather by Zoom to continue the process of Chapter which will take place in May. They gather again today to continue the process of pre-chapter which started yesterday. I have chosen not to participate directly in the pre-chapter or chapter, but I have promised to pray for all involved throughout the process. So, I would ask you to join me in prayer for the Passionists as they reflect on our life and look toward the future. My prayer of blessing is once again simple I pray today for God’s blessing upon all of us and I pray in the hope everyone will have a great Wednesday. However, if our day has started slow, or disorganized, or in a panic, or challenged by the weather, may we not worry, and may it all come together by day's end! If our day started with peace and purpose may these two graces, see us through to the end of the day! If our day started with struggle and tension may we find moments of peace and calm that sustain us through the day. If our day has started without God, may we let God find us so that we will not walk and work alone! Blessings to all and happy Feast of Timothy and Titus! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
