Thoughts:
“If I wait to be perfect before I love myself I will always be unsatisfied and
ungrateful. If I wait until all the flaws, chips, and cracks disappear
I
will be the cup that stands on the shelf and is never used” (Joyce Rupp)
May
we live our life remembering that God is a merciful God, always willing to
forgive. As we learn in the Gospel today it is our faith that will save us, so
let us trust in God today, be faithful in living our life and know that God
will bless us with peace.
A
little wisdom to begin your day with. Have a great Thursday everyone!
Daily
Prayer:
Loving God, sometimes we look in the mirror we are not too happy with what I
see. We see imperfection, self-centeredness and ego. Please help us to see the
person you created in your own image and likeness, a person of beauty,
compassion and love. Help us to hold this image in our mind and heart as we
live the journey of life in our own unique way. Allow others to see your image
within us as we live with confidence, grace and a smile on our face. Amen.

Runner’s Thoughts: “The task ahead of you is never greater than the
strength within you.” (Unknown) Our journey of faith through life is never
without the presence of God.

Blessing: Thursday
greetings and blessings to everyone! From the morning sky outside my office
window it looks to be another beautiful September day. I hope that is true were
you are too.
Well
the day might be starting out rather nice it will be a busy one for me as I get
ready to hit the road again. Tomorrow we have the first taping of our new
season for the Sunday Mass and then once that is finished I will head to Sag
Harbor, NY to begin a weekend retreat for women. On Sunday I will leave Sag
Harbor and head to Tarrytown, NY to begin a week long retreat for sisters and
the end of which I will fly to Halifax, Nova Scotia for a parish mission at Saint
Augustine's Parish in Chester, Nova Scotia. So today I need to get things in
order for the next few weeks and packed at least for my first two journeys. In
the midst of all my preparations today I have mass at a local assisted living
home.
In
the midst of all the busyness of life I am happy for the gifts of life, ministry
and faith. My prayer for all you today is that God will touch your day whether
it is a busy one or not with many blessings. May God bless your work, your
travels, the people you encounter, the people you love and you with the grace
to find hope, joy and love in life this day. Please know as you live life today
you are in my prayers! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
