Dan

O God, we know you care about each of your children. We praise your loving kindness, your merciful grace. This day we lift to you Dan.  As he does his best to serve his family with faithfulness and honor, hold him tightly.  Give him courage. Help him feel your love, and give him the graces he needs this day. Amen.

The WHOLE Reynolds Tribe

O dear Jesus, I humbly implore You to grant Your special graces to our family.  May our homes be the shrine of peace, purity, love, labor and faith. Come and fill our homes with your presence, You alone are worthy of our reverence.  Lord we vow to live holy, bowing our knees to You only.  These are our hopes and ideals.  Help us to attain them, O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Ashley

Dear Lord, today we turn to you to give you thanks for Ashley. 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.

Christine

Lord, we thank you for the presence of Christine in our lives and we lift her up with these intentions to you. May you fill her with an abundance of your grace as she does her best to raise her children in a loving household. We thank you for our own mothers that you have given us, whose love is so precious that it can never be measured, whose patience seems to have no end. May we see your loving hand behind them and guiding them. We pray for those mothers who fear they will run out of love or time, or patience. We ask you to bless them with your own special love. We ask this in Christ's name.
Amen.

Donna

Heavenly Creator of the universe, we thank You for Donna 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.  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.

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.

John

All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native land and departed from his people you kept him safe through all his journeys.  Protect John as he continues to serve overseas.  Be his constant companion and his strength in every moment of every day, his refuge in every adversity.  Guide him, O Lord, that he may balance the demands of work and family life, and draw him ever closer to you each day.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
