Emma



Loving God, we thank You for Emma to whom you've entrusted to our family.  We want to cooperate with You fully in helping her grow into a free and responsible young lady and mature in the faith she received at Baptism.  Be her constant companion.  Grant us the grace to be able to guide her in the practice of virtue and the way of Your commandments by the good example of our lives, and by the loving observance of Your law and that of Your Church.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.

John and Eun Young Reynolds Family


All praise to You, Lord Jesus, Lover of children: Bless the Reynolds family, and help them to lead their children to You.  We ask that you look over them in the next few months as they transition to moving to Fayetteville that all may go well and that you will put good people in their life while they're away from family.  Give them light and strength, and courage when the task is difficult.  Let Your Spirit fill them with love and peace, so that they may help their children to love You.  All glory and praise are Yours, Lord Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen.

Peter


Lord, we thank you for Peter and the many gifts and blessings he brings to our lives.  You know that being a father is no meager task, but one that requires a multitude of gifts and blessings from your loving bounty.  Please bless Peter 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 Peter to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.

You Family


O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the You family, and thank you for the addition of Eun Young 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.
