Today’s Blessing Prayer: Tuesday greetings and blessings to all! I hope this finds you well and starting a new day with energy and enthusiasm! I also pray that you are continuing to navigate through these early December and late fall 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) We also remember the events of 1941 today. We remember all who lost their lives in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. A day the continues to live in infamy. May we truly someday beat our guns and bombs into tools of life and women and men will not have to train for war ever again. Perhaps a naive thought but we can always live in hope! As we continue our journey through these Advent days to Christmas, I pray for God's blessing upon all of us today and always - Loving God, bless us this day with your eternal love, Jesus. Lift our minds in watchful hope to hear the voice which announces his glory and open our hearts to receive the Spirit who prepares us for his coming once. May Christ be born in our hearts this day and may we always bring your gift of eternal love to all we meet. Blessings on this journey of Advent that we might be ready to celebrate the gift of Christmas once again. Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
