Lucy

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Lucy in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given her to us to care for and raise. Help us to release her into Your protection, guidance, and counsel. For us not to live in fear of possible dangers, but in the joy and peace of knowing that You are in control. We rely on You for everything, and this day we trust and release Lucy into Your hands. Amen.

Extended Families

O God of goodness and mercy, to Your guidance we commend the Cormier, Hanusek, Carter, You, Armagost, Patterson, Fries, Gregory, Chase, Dalusung, and Importico Families. We thank you for the addition of their sons and daughters to our lives, and we commit all to Your love and keeping; fill their homes with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence.  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, Amen.
