Mac

Loving God, you watch over each and every one of your children. Hear our prayer for Mac. 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.

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 while John is serving overseas 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.

Patrick

Lord, we lift up Patrick to you this week and pray through the intersession of his name sake as we pray the Prayer of St Patrick's Breastplate.

I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need: the wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward; the Word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard.

Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me,
Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me,
Christ above me, Christ in the hearts of all that love me,
Christ in the mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of Whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.

Mason

Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of Mason: 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

Reynolds-tribe Family

O dear Jesus, I humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to our family. May our homes be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. Come and fill our homes with your presence, You alone are worthy of our reverence. Lord we vow to live holy, bowing our knees to You only. These are our hopes and ideals. Help us to attain them, O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.


As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
