BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God receive you in your vulnerability. In times of limitation may you become susceptible to God's care for you and overcome with God's power in you. May you open yourself totally to the unconditional love of the God who created you and knows you perfectly in this moment. In your own needy places may you learn how to be in communion with the vulnerable ones around you. May the God of Unconditional Love bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
