Colette

Father, another new day and already so many things swirling in my head. Please help me clear those away while I concentrate on you this morning. Thank you Lord for the busyness of my business and the busyness of home, let me find true rest from all of it in you.

This morning I bring to you, in my prayer, Colette. Oh sweet Colette. She had my heart from the start. Thank you for the gift of her life and the honor of being her grandma. Help me be the guide for her that you desire me to be.

Please bless Colette. Let her love for you grow daily. Allow her to feel your unconditional love for her.

Let her have an open heart to receive Jesus into and to hold Him in her heart for all time. Please shower her in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Help Colette recognize her talents as gifts from you. Her artistic skills, her ability to retain knowledge, her curiosity, all your gifts. Help her develop those talents for the good of herself and those around her. Please let her realize we have all been given different gifts, different talents and to recognize the gifts and talents of others.

Please allow Colette to see what a difference a smile, a kind word or a hug makes in the lives of others and in turn, changes the world.

As Colette approaches time to be a student, grant her patience to listen and try, and to know it’s okay to make a mistake for some of our best lessons are through our biggest mistakes. Grant success to the work of her hands.

As you bless Colette, please let your light shine on her and through her so she can share that light with her family, her friends and the world.

Lead her and guide her in your ways and if it’s an evangelist you have designed her to be please lead her on that path.

Bless her parents, Harold and Rebecca, strengthen their marriage and their family to walk in your ways. Help them be the parents, and the people you have designed them to be.

Bless her brother and sister, let your light shine on Izzy & Felix for all to see. Help them love all they meet.

Grant them all healthy bodies, minds and spirits.

Bless Colette’s friends and all future friends, let them be true friends who care about her eternal soul.

Mary, Mother of God, our Queen, our Mother, please take these prayers to your son and ask Him to hear and answer them. Ask your parents, Anne and Joachim to pray for Colette and intercede for her to have a close relationship with your son.

I offer my rosary today for Colette and her family. Lead them and guide them, help them know the path you want them on.

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.

Jesus, Mary & Joseph, I love you! Save souls!
