Luke




Lord, we lift up Luke to you as we thank you for the blessing he is to our family. 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. As the Jewish Sabbath blessing goes, 'May God make you like Ephraim and Menashe'." (Genesis 48:20). Amen.

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 and bless them.  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.

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.
