Patrick

Lord, we lift up Patrick to you this week and we ask for the intersession of his name sake as we pray the Prayer of St Patrick's Breastplate.

I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need: the wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward; the Word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard.

Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me,
Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in the hearts of all that love me, Christ in the mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of Whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.

John and Eun Young Family

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 in the next few months as they transition to moving to Fayetteville that all may go well and that you will put good people in their life while they're away from family.  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.

Tommy

Almighty Father, as we lift up Tommy to you we thank you for the blessing that he is in our family.  Aid Tommy with your grace as he strives to be a strong and loving father; help him to be gentle and selfless in the care of his family and children through struggles and joy.  May we seek the intersession of your earthly father, Joseph, for Tommy to be blessed with wisdom, patience, and understanding.  In your name we pray. Amen.

Grandpa Reynolds

O God, who in your unspeakable providence chose blessed Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother, grant, we beseech you that he may interceed for the prayerful intentions we offer for Grandpa Reynolds.  As he has worked tirelessly for our benefit though sacrifice and love to raise us in a loving household where our needs were met through the model of Saint Joseph.  May you bless him abundently with your grace.  Amen

Mac

Loving God, you watch over each and every one of your children. Hear our prayer for Mac. Be his constant companion. Protect him no matter where he goes, and bring him safely and quickly home to those who love him. May we, your sons and daughters, be a witness to him in living out the faith that you've passed down through our parents and mentors, while guiding him to live a life for the love and well being of others. We ask this through Christ our Lord. 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.

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.
