Dear Companions on the Journey,
From a book of Celtic blessings…
I have tasted the fruit of the earth, O God.
I have seen autumn trees hang heavily with heaven’s gifts.
I have known people pregnant with your spirit of generosity.
Let these be guides to me this day.
And may Mary who knew her womb filled with your goodness teach me the wisdom that is born amidst pain.
May I know that deeper than any fallowness in me is the seed planted in the womb of my soul.
May I know that greater than any barrenness in the world is the harvest to be justly shared.

Last September, Pope Francis called us to pray for our environment. As we did in our liturgies. We continue to join him in prayer…
And let us pray for/with one another.
