The De Guzman Family

O God, through the bond of a happy marriage you established the De Guzman family. Shower your blessings on each member of this family this day. Enable them to support one another in love, and give them the special graces they need to overcome challenges that may come their way. Draw them each ever closer to you so that one day they may all be reunited with Pat and all the saints in Heaven. Amen.

Bong

Lord, we thank you for Bong and the many gifts and blessings he brings to our lives.  You know that being a father is no meager task, but one that requires a multitude of gifts and blessings from your loving bounty.  Please bless Bong as he strives to be a strong and loving father; help him to be gentle and selfless in the care of his family and children through struggles and joy.  May we seek the intersession of your earthly father, Joseph, for Bong to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.

Fix Family

O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the Fix family.  We thank you for the addition of their daughter, Robin, to our lives, and we commit all to Your love and keeping; fill their homes with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence.  Amen.

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.
