WEDNESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME
OPTIONAL MEMORIAL OF SAINT BLAISE, BISHOP AND MARTYR
 

-from the Irish poet, Padraig O Tuama
 
A reading from the book of exile
chapter six
 
there is no ending.
everything is here.
     (so pitch a tent that you can live in
     and find a friend to whom you’ll give
     in
     times of telling
     times of testing
     times of listening
     times of resting)
there is no ending.
everything is here.
 
Today’s Prayer of Blessing:
 
Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
