Today’s Blessing Prayer: Saturday greetings and blessings to all. I would like to thank you for your prayers yesterday our Sunday Mass Taping Day went well. It was nice to get it finished so that I can joy these last days before Christmas – again thank you for your prayer!
I hope and pray you are continuing to navigate through these unusual and at times difficult days with faith and a hopefulness for the future. Once again as we journey through this uncertain time, 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) As I mentioned about with the completion of our taping day yesterday most of my ministry responsibilities are done for the year except for Christmas Eve and Day masses and various weekday and weekend masses from now to the first of the year and anything else that might come up in the next 10 days or so. I hope that these last days of Advent will give you a chance to pause and ready yourself spiritually for the gift of Christmas at home or wherever you will travel to. May this Christmas truly be a blessed and holy one for all! It is in the spirit of the “O Antiphons” that I offer my daily blessing – O Root of Jesse's stem, 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
