Today’s Blessing Prayer: Thursday greetings and blessings to all welcome to the last day of February! As always, I hope and pray you are navigating through this last February Lenten day with faith and hopefulness for the future.
As we close out February, 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 God’s blessings will be upon everyone and that we all will have a peaceful Thursday without too many struggles or problems. I pray that today will be rich in presence of God especially in the people we encounter throughout this day. Blessings upon everyone today, have a great last day of February and enjoy the day wherever you are! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
