BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God the Oasis be with you. May God be for you a place of rest and refreshment, a refuge from the confusion and activity of a busy world, a relief from a dry and infertile spirit. May you take into this oasis a quieted soul that yearns for God and contemplates the mystery of God's presence in your life. May God the Oasis of your life, embrace you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
