Daily Thoughts: Friends, sorry
that I have not connected with you over the last couple of days! My only excuse
is that my plate if a bit full these days with ministry, Thanksgiving and
Passionist life. I have been at my computer all day except for a short trip to
the Post Office and a little nourishment so I can keep going.
Why is it that everything always seems
to happen at once. I can go along for weeks without much to do and then wham -
time, energy and work comes at you from all sides. All of a sudden everything
need to happen at once. I swear I was not procrastinating but a few other
people were and now I pay the price! Ain't life sweet!
Let me say though that all of you have
not been far from my thoughts even in my busyness! I wanted to at least send
you a thought or two today and you too begin to journey through this week to
Thanksgiving!
I ran across a little prayer or blessing
the other day now I am not sure whether it comes from the writings of St.
Therese of Liseaux or St.Teresa of Ávila. I have not been able to find a clear
source. However no matter who it came from it is a nice thought and I share it
with you today. You might say it is my Daily Thought, Prayer and Blessing all
rolled into one...
Loving God I prayer for my family and
friends today. I pray for all who ask me to pray for them or to remember a
prayer request that they have. I pray for all who are in need of prayer today.
What follows Lord, is my prayer for them - so please bless them with your
presence however they may need it today. For all in need of prayer...
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us. Today - Amen!
Loving God bless my family, friends and all in need today with this prayer!
Have a restful and peaceful evening
everyone! Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
