Father in heaven, my heart is hungry for your word. I believe that you want to speak a word of hope to me today. How good it would be if I were to see myself and my future as you do, but at least I do trust in you. I wish to take up your challenge to be holy, whatever the cost, and I am confident that you will accompany me closely and help me with your grace.
Father, thank you for another day. I know each new day is a gift from you and I want to use that gift for your glory.
Today I pray especially for Derick. What a joy he has added to our family. I have so enjoyed watching him grow and mature. Thank you for Derick, he is truly a blessed gift in our lives.
Please bless Derick, lead him to you. Put people in his life that will point to you. Let your light shine on him and allow him to feel the warmth of that light and the presence of your love. Give him assurance that he has an angel who walks right with him and watches over him.
Please help Derick to trust you.
Bless Derick’s family and friends. Let them be beacons for him. Let them encourage his talents and help him be the person you designed him to be.
Help Derick know how much love he is surrounded with and help him share his love, and his smile, with the world!
Mary, Mother of God, our Queen Mother, with whom Derick shares a birthday, I offer my rosary today for Derick and all the intentions he holds in his heart. Please take these prayers to your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and ask him to hear and answer them.
Watch over all students today, especially Derick, give success to the work of their hands.
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.
Jesus, Mary & Joseph, I love you! Save souls!
Saint Michael, pray for us!
Saint Raphael, pray for us!
