Lord, we lift up to you Mary and Ryan. Give them special blessings as they prepare for marriage. Bring her and Ryan closer together, and may their love for each other draw them ever closer to you. Give them each an open heart to receive your grace, and to do the little things with great love for each other at work and home. Amen.
Loving God,
We lift up Fuzzy in prayer this week. We thank you for the gift of her presence in our lives. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Lord, we thank you for the precious gift of August in our lives. We know that every good gift comes from You, and that You have given him to us to care for and raise. Help us to release him 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 August into Your hands. Amen.
Lord, we lift up to you Mary. Give her special blessings as she prepares for marriage. 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
