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.

Ruthie

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Ruth in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given her to us to care for and raise. Help us to release her 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 Ruth into Your hands. Amen.

Mike

Lord, we thank you for the love you have poured out upon our family and we thank you for the gift of Mike.  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. Amen.

Bong and Grace Family

O God, you have created us in love and saved us in mercy, and through the bond of marriage you have established the Dalusung 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. Protect them and bring them peace.  In Your name we pray.  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.

Raissa

Lord, we offer to you our prayers for Raissa.  We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives.  As a wife and mother, please give her the grace to care for those you've sent into her life, to help them develop the special gifts you've given them.  To continue to model for them how to follow their own paths that you've called them to and to bring their loving wisdom to the world. Amen.

Ike

Almighty Father, as we lift up Ike to you we thank you for the blessing that he is in our family.  Aid Ike with your grace 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 Ike to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.
