Pap

Dear Lord,
This week we lift up in prayer Pap.  As a man of honor he served our country with other worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless him, Lord, for his unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us. Bless him abundantly for the hardships he faced, for the sacrifices he made for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.  For all the veterans, men, and women serving our country we respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them, and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness.  In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.

Paul

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
all that I have and possess.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
All is yours now; dispose of it according to your will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.

Lord, we thank You for Lynsey 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. As she contiues along the journey of faith may You draw her ever closer to Yourself in the Sacraments and let her be aware of Your unconditional love for her. 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
