Ryan

Dear Lord, we come to you today and ask special blessings upon your son, Ryan. We thank you for his presence in our lives and for the talented and caring young man he has become. May he use the gifts you have given him to bring glory to your kingdom as he continues to follow the path you have laid for him. Grant him the graces he needs in each moment of each new day and keep him safe and close to you always. 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.

Denise and Ralph Balbin Family

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.

RJ

Loving God, you watch over each and every one of your children. Hear our prayer for RJ. Be his constant companion. Protect him no matter where he goes, and bring him safely and quickly home to those who love him. May we, your sons and daughters, be a witness to him in living out the faith that you've passed down through our parents and mentors, while guiding him to live a life for the love and well being of others. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Loved Ones who have Died

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 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.

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.
