The Chase Family

Lord, we lift up to you the Chase family this week.  We thank you for their presence and the gift of their daughter Christine into our family.  O God of goodness and mercy, to Your fatherly guidance we commend our families, our household and all our belongings.We commit all to Your love and keeping; fill their house with Your blessings even as You filled the holy House of Nazareth with Your presence.  Amen.

Fuzzy

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.

Chrissy Patterson Family

Lord, this week we lift up to you the Patterson family. Give them, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give them an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give them an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.  Bestow upon them also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Mason

Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of Mason: 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. Amen

Alex

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

Lord, we thank You for Hayley to whom you've entrusted to our family.  We 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. Amen.

Lord,  we thank you for the blessing of the Carters.  As they continue 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.
