Joanna

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Joanna 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 Joanna into your hands. 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.

Isaac

Lord Jesus, You welcomed children into your loving arms like they were ambassadors to the kingdom.  Please bless Isaac as we lift him up in prayer to you.  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.  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.

Denise

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

Gonzalez Family

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.

The Jingle and Andrew Cruz Family

O God, you have created us in love and saved us in mercy, and through the bond of marriage you have established the Cruz 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.
