Today’s Blessing Prayer: Wednesday greetings and blessings to all. I hope and pray you are navigating through this last January day with faith and hopefulness for the future.
As we bring January to an end and begin a new day, 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) I woke up to a slight dusting of snow this morning. I am sure once the sun comes up and the temps get a little warmer it will disappear, but we have been lucky for it is February 1st and this is the first snow that we have had this winter. I would not be sad if it was also the last. My prayer of blessing today is simply this… wherever you are, whatever this day has brought or will bring your way I pray in the hope you have found and will continue to find many blessings as you live this day! Enjoy your day, the people you meet, the things you do and the time you spend being the gift you are! Blessings to all! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul

(Prayer Composed by Pope Francis) Today, January 30th is always a special day in my life. One hundred and nine years ago my father was born. Now he only made it through 67 of those years but that was enough to fall in love with my mother and together they by the grace of God gave life to three children who are most grateful for their love and the gift of life! So, Dad, Happy Birthday Day and thanks! I offer a simple prayer of blessing on this last Tuesday in January that all of us will be blessed with the grace of God’s presence in our journey through this day. May all we do be touched by God’s Spirit. May all we meet be touched by God’s love. Blessings to all on this Tuesday and may your day be productive and full of energy if you need it to be. May your day offer you time for quiet and relaxation as you journey through a busy week. May you have a day rich in God’s grace so that even in the midst of storms that can arise in life you will know that you are never alone. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr.

Help us to draw upon the faith of all who have gone before us, trusting that they are always with us. Give us the courage to reach out and touch you when we most need it today. Make us aware of those in need of life today so that we may bring you to them. May we not grow weary or lose heart. Amen!

May we use those gifts that we have received and pass on the love that has been given to us. May we be confident knowing that we are a child of God. Let this presence settle into our bones and allow our soul the freedom to sing dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. Amen!

Guide us along your right path knowing that you are always with us, and you will never leave us to face life alone. Amen!
