After a day of running errands, it was such a blessing to gather with others at a friends home to say the rosary.. a wonderful end to a very busy day.. Matthew 18:20 “where two or three gather in my name, there am I"

“When I found your words, I devoured them; your words were my joy, the happiness of my heart, Because I bear your name, Lord, God of hosts.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ ‭ Blessing today was helping to lead a Bible Study for a group of high school students at my Pastoral assignment in Scituate Mass. 5 high school students put aside homework and video games at 7pm on a Tuesday night to come out to the parish and dive deeper into Sacred Scripture. Tonight we focused on the Gospel for Midnight Mass on Christmas.

One of the greatest blessings I enjoy is the ability to immerse myself in a beautiful book. I’m reading The Silence of Mary. Luke 1:38 “ I am a servant of the Lord; do unto me according to thy word.”

I had a couple of projects to do today and God gave me the time and ability to get them accomplished.. even though I was dragging my feet… Thank you God for all of Your help.. Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
