Nichole

Lord, we thank you for the love you have poured out upon our family and we thank you for the gift of Nichole. Bless her as she lives out her vocation of loving wife and mother. Give her the graces she needs this day, and every day, as she goes about her work. Continue to draw her ever closer to yourself; calm her fears, and keep her safe. May her life be a witness to your peace, love, and mercy. Lord, teach us all to be generous; to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to ask for rest; to labor and not to ask for reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen.

Loved ones who have died

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Robin

Loving God,
We lift up Robin in prayer this week. We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives. Help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Keep her safe and close to you always. Give her the grace she needs in every moment, and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her. Amen. 

August

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of August in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given him to us to care for and raise. Help us to release him into Your protection, guidance, and counsel. For us not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. We rely on You for everything, and this day we trust and release August into Your hands. Amen

Mabel

Loving God, We lift up Mabel in prayer this week. We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives. May you fill her with an abundance of your grace as she does her best to maintain a loving household. Help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Give her the graces she needs each day; and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her.  We ask this in Christ's name, Amen .
