Today's Blessing...

​Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to everyone! I hope and pray you are navigating through these March Lenten days with faith and hopefulness for the future.
 
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)
 
My prayer of blessing today is that all of us will be touched by the mercy, healing, joy and love of God as we make our way through this day. I pray that we will recognize the richness of our life and share it with others the best way we can. And may we all be blessed with the strength to live the fullness of life not just the minimum. May we find God in everything that we do and in every person we encounter. Many blessings of God’s joy be upon everyone today and may we live in God’s peace. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
