Oh God, I come before you again thrashed by the waves of life. Thank you for your Gospel reading this morning and for the words of Saint Augustine – “He came treading the waves; and so, he puts all the swelling tumults of life under his feet. Christians — why be afraid?” Help me to always remember you got this and to trust in you.
This morning I bring you another little sister, Stephanie. Oh what a treasure you have there! Thank you for the beautiful person you have made her and the beautiful family you have given her.
Bless Stephanie and George, keep their marriage and family strong so they can continue to be examples for others. Walk with them so they can weather the storms of life and place their trust in you.
Thank you for giving them the gift of being grandparents, there is no higher honor or crowning achievement than this!
Bless and keep their children, grandchild, and all future and past ancestors in your light. Please hear and answer the prayers they offer you.
Mary, Mother of God, our Queen and Mother, please take these prayers to your Son and ask that He grant them. I offer my Rosary this morning especially for Stephanie and her intentions. Mary, you know best what she needs – please intercede for those needs.
Please watch over all who will be traveling – allow safe journeys and successful ventures.
Ignite our souls with the grace of faith and inflame our hearts with your Love!
Saint Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for all who will die today, especially those who have no one to pray for them.
