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 and grandfather; 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.

The Reynolds Family


O dear Jesus, we humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to the Reynolds family.  May our homes be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. Come and fill our homes with your presence, You alone are worthy of our reverence.  Lord we vow to live holy, bowing our knees to You only.  These are our hopes and ideals.  Help us to attain them, O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

RJ

Loving God, you watch over each and every one of your children. Hear our prayer for RJ. Be his constant companion. Protect him no matter where he goes, and bring him safely and quickly home to those who love him. May we, your sons and daughters, be a witness to him in living out the faith that you've passed down through our parents and mentors, while guiding him to live a life for the love and well being of others. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Evan

Dear Lord,  we ask your blessings on Evan this day. Grant him grace and courage to live authentically the vocation of husband and father. May he continue to grow in relationship with You and with your daughter,  Jessica, and their children. We ask that in Your providence you may draw them all together to experience all the joys and beauty of your design for Christian marriage and family life. Amen.

Grace


Dear Lord, we ask your blessings upon your daughter, Grace. We thank you for the gifts she brings to our family. As she faithfully serves you through lovingly serving her family, give her the graces she needs in each moment of each day. Draw her ever closer to you and keep her safe. Amen.

Paul


Lord, we thank you for the love you have poured out upon our family and we thank you for the gift of Paul. Bless him as he lives out his vocation of loving husband and father. Give him the graces he needs this day, and every day, in the workplace and at home. Continue to draw him ever closer to yourself and keep him safe. May his 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.
