Loving God,
We lift up Jingle 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, and help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Keep her safe and close to you always, and give her the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her. Amen.
O dear Jesus, I humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to our 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.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. AMEN.
O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the Gonzalez Family. We thank you for their presence in our lives and we commit all to Your love and keeping; fill each of their homes with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence. Amen.
Lord, we are filled with gratitude for the many blessings we share: being together, abundance, well-being. Gracious God, we seek in our living a greater awareness of Your presence and your blessing upon the members of the Troncales family both near and far. Help us to see and nurture goodness within each soul You've entrusted. May Your enduring love strengthen our bonds as we become blessings for one another and all who need our care. Amen.
Dear Lord, we ask your blessings on Denise and Ralph this day. We thank you for the gifts their union has brought to our family. Grant them grace and courage as they continue to grow in relationship with You and with each other. We ask that in Your providence you may draw them ever closer together to experience all the joys and beauty of your design for Christian marriage and family life. Amen.
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.
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.
