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.

Mabel

Loving God, We lift up Mabel 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 as she does her best to maintain a loving household. Help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Give her the graces she needs each day; and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her.  We ask this in Christ's name, Amen .

Irene

Dear Lord, we come to you today and ask your blessing upon your daughter, Irene. For many years she cared for this family with a Christ-like love. Continue to bless her wherever she goes. Give her the graces she needs today and every day. Keep her safe and close to you always. Amen.

Daniel

Lord Jesus, You welcomed children into your loving arms like they were ambassadors to the kingdom.  Please bless Daniel 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.

The Sunga Family

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

Lola

Dear Lord, we come to you today and ask special blessings upon our mother and grandmother, Ofelia.  We thank you for the great gift she is to us; just as you love and care for your children,  her gentle love and care for us has been constant. We beseech you,  through the powerful intercession of Mary your mother, and St. Ann, your grandmother,  to draw her ever closer to yourself and keep her safe and joyful in your service.  Amen.
