Today’s Blessing Prayer: Holy Saturday greetings and blessings to all! I hope you had a blessed and holy Good Friday. I hope you got to spend a little time in prayer.
Once again as we journey through these most holy days, 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, Holy Saturday, is a time of waiting. It is a time between the death of Jesus and his resurrection. This past year has been a time of waiting for us. The women and the disciples waited three days. We are still waiting for the virus, the violence, the war to pass. I pray that our time of waiting will end soon. That we will be able to rise to a new life! My prayer of blessing today is that our Holy Saturday may be rich in the warmth of the sun, that it may be a day when we can hope for all the goodness that Easter is and for an end to the Covid virus, the violence, the war that seems to be a part of our everyday life. May we be blessed soon with a new life of joy that will enliven the journey of our life in new and faith filled ways! Blessings on our Holy Saturday journey and please know that all of you are in my prayers throughout this day and always! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
