Joseph

Lord, we lift up Joseph to you as we thank you for the blessing he is to our family. Give us calm strength and patient wisdom as he is brought up in the faith; that we may teach him to love whatever is just and true and good, following the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As he grows, may he come to know and understand the love of God for him in a deeper way each day. Amen.

Mike and Raissa Wilbur Family

O God, you have created us in love and saved us in mercy, and through the bond of marriage you have established the Wilbur family and willed that it should become a sign of Christ's love for his people. Shower your blessing on this family gathered here in your name. Enable those who are joined by one love to support one another by their favor of spirit and devotion to prayer. Make them responsive to the needs of others and witnesses to the faith in all they say and do. In Your name we pray.  Amen.

Andrew

Lord, we thank you for Andrew 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 Andrew as he strives to be a strong and loving father; help him to be gentle and selfless in the care of his family through struggles and joy.  May we seek the intersession of your earthly father, Joseph, for Andrew to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.

The Cruz Family

O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the Cruz family. We thank you for the addition of their son, Andrew, 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.

Heart

Loving God we come to you today and ask your special blessings on your daughter,  Michaella. We thank you for helping her grow into the strong young lady she is. Grant her the graces she needs in every moment of every day, as she continues to follow the path you have laid for her. Draw her ever closer to you and keep her safe. Amen.
