The Wilbur Family

O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the Wilbur family, and thank you for the addition of Mike to our lives. We commit all to Your love and keeping; fill their house with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence.  Amen.

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.

DJ

Dear Lord, we come to you today and ask special blessings upon your son, DJ. We thank you for his presence in our lives and for the strong and caring young man he has become. Grant him the graces he needs in each moment of each new day and keep him safe and close to you always. Amen.

Ralph

Dear Lord, we ask your blessing on Ralph this day. We thank you for the gifts he has brought to our family and for the love that he and Denise share. Continue to draw them closer together and closer to you as they live out their vocation of husband and wife, and give him the graces he needs each day. Amen.

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.

Lolo

O God, who in your unspeakable providence chose blessed Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother, grant, we beseech you that he may intercede for the prayerful intentions we offer for Lolo.  Just as St. Joseph was delighted by the Holy Family, so your servant Lolo delights in the family you have blessed him with. May you continue to bless him abundantly and grant him your grace.  Amen.

August

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of August in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given him to us to care for and raise. Help us to release him 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 August into Your hands. May he grow ever closer in relationship to you, Amen.
