Lynsey

Ascended 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

Christine

Lord, we thank you for the presence of Christine in our lives and we lift her up with these intentions to you.  Through the Holy Spirit, You prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mary to be a worthy dwelling place of Your Divine Son. Hear the prayers of your humble servants who implore You, through the intercession of St. Gerard, to protect Christine from the dangers of childbearing and to watch over the child with which You blessed her. During this time of waiting, we ask you to protect and nurture these first mysterious stirrings of life.  May the child she bears come safely into the light of the world and to the new birth of baptism and that you would fill Christine with your peace and blessing.  Amen

Happy Mothers Day to all and thank you for all the sacrifices that you have made and continue to make.

Anna

Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of Anna 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. To 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 Anna into Your hands. Amen.

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 some balance 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.

Pam

Lord, we offer to you our prayers for Pam.  We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives.  As a mother, please give her the grace to care for those you've sent into her life, to help them develop the special gifts you've given them.  To model for them how to follow their own paths that you've called them to and to bring their loving wisdom to the world.  Please bless her life in these next few years in Denver and draw her and her family to Your loving table.  Amen.

Ashley and Jimmy Carter

Lord,  we thank you for the blessing of Ashley and Jimmy.  As they continue to begin their family life together may you bless them in abundance with wisdom and patience.  Accept the offering of their married love and make it a source of blessing for us and for all who make up their lives.  Draw them towards you as you bring them together in the unity of their love for one another.  Amen

Hayley

Risen Lord, we thank You for Hayley to whom you've entrusted to our family. As we renew our baptismal promises this Easter we also look to cooperate with Your abundant grace and example in helping her grow into a free and responsible young lady and to mature in the faith she received at Baptism. Let the spirit of love and renewal continue in the lives of all who believe, that they might be changed in Your image and likeness, O God. May all who seek new life find it in You, this Easter and always. Amen
