Chrissy

Dear Lord, today we turn to you to give you thanks for Chrissy. Please help her to remain a loving mother to her children and to keep balance in her life. Help her to remember that you are with her in every packed hour of every day. Give her the grace to maintain her loving life at home; and the deepest knowledge in her heart that you love her. Strengthen her when she is down and give her hope when she is discouraged. Amen.

Paul

Lord, we thank you for the love you have poured out upon our family and we thank you for the gift of Paul. Bless him as he lives out his vocation of loving husband and father. Give him the graces he needs this day, and every day, in the workplace and at home. Continue to draw him ever closer to yourself and keep him safe. May his life be a witness to your peace, love, and mercy. Lord, teach us all to be generous; to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to ask for rest; to labor and not to ask for reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen.

Grandma Reynolds

Loving lord, as we gather around our family table, we ask your special blessing on our mother Noreen. Her presence brings light and warmth to our lives and we thank you for giving her to us. We know her care for us has been constant. She has enlightened us at some of the most difficult times in our family life. Lord, now bless her with the same consolation that your Mother received during her life.  Amen.

Mary

Lord, we lift up to you Mary. Give her special blessings as she lives out her vocation of wife and nurse.  Bring her and Ryan closer together, and may their love for each other draw them ever closer to you. Give her an open heart to receive your grace, and to do the little things with great love in her work and home.  Amen.
