Today’s Blessing Prayer: Happy Solemnity of St. Joseph and Monday greetings to all. As always, I hope and pray you are continuing to navigate through these March Lenten days with faith and hopefulness for the future. Also, Happy Spring! I hope there is at least a little feeling of Spring wherever you are.
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) As I mentioned yesterday and Saturday, I am in New London, New Hampshire at Our Lady of Fatima Parish and we are beginning a Lenten Mission here today. I preached all the masses on Saturday and Sunday and this morning and evening will be the first Mission sessions. Please if you would not mind offering a prayer today for the faith community here at Our Lady of Fatima as we enter Mission and if you have the time to add an extra prayer for their preacher it would be appreciated! May the coming of Spring begin the hopefulness of warmth, colors and new life into your life. May the blessings of Spring enliven your life today! My prayer of blessing today is that through the intercession of St. Joseph, all of us will remain focused on our faith, on our relationship with God, on all the journeys of life that God has invited us to enter into and all the healing God has provided. May we never give in to hopelessness and look elsewhere to a god the world creates. Many blessings to all today, may faith be central in our living today, may our hope be steadfast and may we encounter the presence of God’s love throughout the day! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
