Month: January 2019

Father, I can’t believe a month of the new year has already passed, please help me remain true and faithful to you throughout this year no matter the cost.

This morning I ask your Holy Spirit to pour out the gift of Fear of the Lord on me, my family, your Church and all your children on the earth. What a world this would be if we truly believed that you are our loving, merciful father just waiting for us to run to your open arms and realize how much you cherish each and every one of us.

Today I bring my brother Bob to you in my prayers. Please bless him and allow him to feel your loving presence in his life. Give success to the work of his hands.

Bless Geraldine and keep their marriage strong and healthy. Allow them to continue to be an example of covenant commitment to the world.

Bless their children, grandchildren, and all future generations to come. Let your light shine on them and through them for the world to see.

Please send health and happiness on their entire family.

It was pride that caused angels to fall and become devils, and it is humility that leads normal people to become saints.

Of Father, this world is difficult- what was black is now white, up is down, wrong is right and it’s hard to know who to trust, who to believe, even among your shepherds.

Please send the gift of fortitude – courage – on your people, on your church, so we have the strength to walk in your ways and not in the way of the world.

Theresa, sweet Theresa is in my heart today and I bring her to you. Please accept my prayers for her soul and for her girls, Amber and Erica. What an example of suffering in faith she was, she is. Oh, the courage and trust she displayed! Help us all learn from her example.

Send the gift of counsel – right judgement – on your Church! It’s so obvious we need that now! From the top down and the bottom up!

Today Father, I bring you the eldest brother in our family, Michael. He has become such a faithful disciple of your Son, please bless him and let his faith grow stronger everyday, every minute.

Father, I pray for the soul of Vicky and ask her to pray for us if she doesn’t need these prayers.

Oh little baby, you’ll never cry, nor will you hear a sweet lullabye. Oh unborn child, if you only knew just what your momma was plannin’ to do. You’re still a-clingin’ to the tree of life, but soon you’ll be cut off before you get ripe. Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you’ll never know. Oh tiny bud, that grows in the womb, only to be crushed before you can bloom. Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over. Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over. Stop, turn around, go back think it over. Oh no momma, just let it be. You’ll never regret it, just wait and see. Think of all the great ones who gave everything That we might have life here, so please bear the pain. Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over. Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over. Stop, turn around, go back think it over.

 

Father, these weeks go by so fast – so much to do – please nudge me to remember to always see your goodness in my busy-ness ( funny that’s really business!)

Thank you for the work and the week behind, grant success to the work of our hands in the time ahead.

I bring you today everyone I work with, work for, or am associated with. I especially bring you everyone working on our large project and their families and friends, let us all work together to achieve the final goal and let that final goal be a good for all.

I pray for all who are transitioning in life, whether it be work, home or family. Perhaps they are changing jobs, perhaps it’s moving on to an empty nest, perhaps it’s welcoming a new life or perhaps it’s facing an illness, give them peace, strength and courage to take each new step.

Lord, I pray for the gift of understanding, to know the whats and whys of how you want us to live for you. Please take every bit of my heart!

Father, please allow your priests to see the Face of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Set your Church on fire with faith!
Lord, like Saint Paul I have been touched by your love, and I have heard your command to go out and spread the good news. I renew my trust in your companionship, and I resolve to do all I can to bring your Gospel to others. Help me to keep my eyes on you.

Ignite our souls with a burning faith and inflame our hearts with your love!

Mary, our Queen, pray for us!

Oh Lord, I believe, help my unbelief!

Father, I come to you today in the presence of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, believing that you are God. Please open my heart to allow your Holy Spirit to take all of it! Please share the gift of Wisdom to recognize your truth and use that to better serve you.

This morning I bring Leslie in prayer, please bless her and give her peace in her days. Please also bless Lee and keep their marriage strong especially as they enter this new chapter of their life. Bless their sons and all the future generations to come.

Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to acknowledge that you are my God! The God who made Heaven and earth, the God of the universe! Maker of all seen and unseen!

And you designed my family and every soul in it! Thank you for such marvelous, wonderful, beautiful people you put in my life!

Today I especially thank you for my Dad. I still miss him but enjoy the hope that he has already heard “well done my good and faithful servant” and prays for all of us still struggling here on this side of eternity.

Dad, you shaped the image of God in my heart, in my soul, in my mind. I know a good father always welcomes his children back, no matter what they have done. I also know a good father makes you clean up your own mess and suffer the consequences of your actions, all the while loving you right through.

Dad, when I think about how safe I felt in your arms, I feel that same comfort and protection when I humble myself to be held in God’s arms. Thank you Dad! Thank you Father!

My prayer today is for Dad and all he has left behind and all who have gone to their eternity. I especially pray for Mom, I know how much she misses Dad and would love to hear “Jackie” just one more time. Give her peace and comfort.

Let’s pray for all those many diverse personalities you call your kids, for their kids, and their kids and all generations to come! Oh Dad, how I wish my grandchildren could know you! What a treasure they are! What a treasure you are!

Thank you for passing on the Catholic faith to me and praying me back to the church!

Father, if these prayers I offer for Dad are not needed for him, please make them efficacious where you know best and Dad, please pray with me and for me.

Mary, our Queen and Mother, I offer my rosary today for Dad and all his intentions. Please take these prayers to your Son and ask Him to answer and grant these requests.
