Daily Thoughts: "We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace." (Pope Francis)
"To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others." (Blessed Pope John Paul II)
"Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it." (Blessed Pope John Paul II)
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." (Blessed Pope John XXIII)
"See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little." (Blessed Pope John XXIII)
Have a great Easter Friday everyone and don't forget to make a joyful noise with your life today!
Daily Prayer: Loving God, It is your desire that all should be saved. Great is your compassion and mercy because you gave us your only Son and Christ died for us all. Teach us to recognize you in all things and love you as you love us. Our prayer of deep faith today is that through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ you will send workers into the vineyards of life to proclaim the Good Word. That through your Holy Spirit of hope you will enkindle in our hearts an ardent love that can help us to do all things, to be all things and to live in your love. Be for us the Good Shepherd today and guide along the right road to your tender love! Amen!
Daily Blessing: Happy Easter Friday to all! I hope your day is starting out well and that you will be enjoying this Friday in the Octave of Easter in some life giving ways. We begin our last full day of retreat here in Jamaica and I think it has been a good time of grace and peace for all on the journey of retreat. Please continue to keep the seven Passionist Volunteers on retreat in your prayers and also pray that wisdom will continue to touch their retreat director!
I pray for all of you today that you will once again be touch by the joy of Easter. May you be gifted today with many live giving experiences, with many encounters with God through the people you meet, with safe travels if you are traveling and with much joy and peace as you journey through this day! God's Easter blessings to all today! Peace in Christ's Passion and the Joy of the Risen Lord...Fr. Paul
