Today’s Blessing Prayer: Sunday greetings and blessings to all. It is a day and a half until Christmas and just one day until we start celebrating the gift of Christmas Mass. I hope everyone is in good spirits today and the busyness of your Christmas preparations is winding down. It looks like it might be a somewhat sunny day here in the New York area with the temperatures a little on the chilly side. Later today I will make a little pilgrimage to Manhattan to see the Christmas lights. I hope the weather holds for a nice evening of walking and looking. I hope the weather in your area is good especially if you are traveling today!
As we celebrate this Fourth Sunday of Advent, as we recall Elizabeth and Mary’s meeting and Elizabeth’s response to hearing Mary’s voice and the presence of God she found in that voice. Let us ask God to bless us with the faith and trust of Elizabeth and Mary today. Bless us, O God, in the loving spirits of Elizabeth and Mary; bless us today body and soul; bless our dreams, our words and our actions; bless our journeys; bless all that we have and all that we are that we will always live our lives to your greater honor. Bless us with the grace of your mercy to be compassionate, forgiving and hopeful that all you have called us to be will bring about your presence in our lives and in the lives of all we meet. Help us to be gentle and kind especially when many around us are not. Gift us with the grace to say “yes” even when we are unsure where it will take us. Help us to trust in your ever-present love. Amen. Sunday blessings to all! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
