Blake

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

Hayden

Born 8-18-10

We lift up in prayer Hayden.  May the LORD bless you and keep you. The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers, 6:24-26) Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground. (Deut. 28:4)  Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have drawn a defense against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger ( Psalms. 8:3 ) Amen.

John

All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native land and departed from his people you kept him safe through all his journeys.  Protect John as he prepares to serve overseas.  Be his constant companion and his strength in battle, his refuge in every adversity.  Guide him, O Lord, that he may return home in safety.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Mary

Lord, we lift up to you Mary.  May you bless her to be a dedicated and caring nurse.  May her hands be competent and soothing.  May her smile be sincere and understanding.  May her manner be warm and professional.  May her heart be compassionate and giving. May her spirit be hopeful and uplifting. Help us to do these little things with great love.  Amen.

Alex

Heavenly Creator of the universe, we thank You for Alex 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.  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. Amen
