Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all. We find ourselves in the midst of the last week before Christmas. I am sure the coming days will be busy and here in the New York area the temperatures are supposed to get a bit warmer in the coming days, but we are also awaiting more rain. At least today we are to see some sun! There are Christmas cards to finish, countless trips to the post office to mail Christmas gifts, lots of traffic and long lines. I hope you will survive this last week until Christmas. I hope as today begins you are not too stressed and will be able to enjoy the gift of a new day and the true spirit of Advent.
Most of my ministry responsibilities are done for the year except for 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 get things done and thus be ready to celebrate 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

Am looking forward to the Christmas mass. Even in bad weather the mass gives a shining meaning to our world through Jesus and His Father and the Holy Spirit.
