Good morning Father! Thank you for this new day to try and get it right! Thank you for the rain, I trust that you have a reason and a purpose for the rain that we cannot know. Please keep those traveling in the rain safe.

With all these weather swings it surprises me that so many haven’t figured it out yet, that you are in charge and you control the universe, not us. So many forget that you are God and we are not!

This morning I bring Felix in my prayers. What a sweet, darling little boy you have gifted us with. Thank you for his life. Thank you for the honor of being his grandma!

Father, please bless Felix, give him a zealous faith in you, in Jesus and let the Holy Spirit guide him. Keep your angel surrounding and protecting him, his entire life.

Father please let your light shine on Felix and through Felix so he can be a beacon of your light to the world. Let him keep his innocence as long as possible.

Bless his parents, Harold and Rebecca, let them be examples of what your love for your children looks like. Help them raise Felix with a strong faith in you and in your love.

Bless his sisters, Colette and Izzy, please surround them with your light and your love. Help them be the best sisters ever and examples of sibling unconditional love.

Keep them all healthy and happy. Grant success to the work of their hands.

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 Felix and intercede for him to have a close relationship with your son.

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

I also pray for the friends you will put in Felix’s life. Let them be ones who will help Felix on his road to you.

Ignite our souls with the grace of faith and inflame our hearts with your Love!

O Lord, you said that blest are they who find no stumbling block in you. I want to be a blest person, so that you may find in me no obstacle to the holiness you want for me. I believe in you, but I long for a greater faith to see and respond to the signs of your hand moving in my world. I love you, Lord, and wish to lead my brothers and sisters to you through my testimony, through my being truly convinced that you are the life of men.
Lord, grant me the gift of total surrender to your will for me in all things. Help me remember, no matter what, you are in all things, you are always with me, and you are God, I am not. Please send the gift of humility.

This morning I bring my younger brother Mark to you in my prayer. Lord, please bless him and bless this career move. Allow a successful venture for the good of his family.

Bless Ingrid and their marriage. Give them strength and patience to meet all challenges together and united to be an example not only to their children, but also to the world.

Kathy it’s been so long since I have thought of you for an extended time, and since this morning you are in my prayers, I find you also in my heart and my mind.

It’s hard for me to believe you have been gone so much longer than you were alive. I will never forget that call from Dad; “we’ve lost Kathy”. Well, now I hope you and Dad and Theresa are watching over all of us and praying for us.

Kathy, I do miss you and wonder how different it all would be if…….. I know God has a reason for everything and I do trust Him.

Father, this morning I again thank you for my family. I thank you for all the laughter and tears, all the fights and hugs, all the love and the “hate”, all of the ups and the downs I would not trade it for the world!

Watch over my family, let your light shine on them and through them, allow them to be beacons in this dark world.

As I bring Kathy to you this morning I also bring her kids and her grandkids and all generations to come. She has left her mark in this world!

Allow Kathy to be in your presence, to fall at your feet and worship, to feel your loving embrace! It’s truly not eternal rest I seek for her, but instead an eternity of dancing, smiling and praising you with all your angels and saints!

Please help me find true forgiveness in any area that still harbors hurt and blame. I pray for Mike in this hour too, that he can have eternal rest.

I offer my rosary today for Kathy and her intentions, Lord, you know best where these prayers are needed, please make them efficacious.

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.

Colette and I spent most of Friday together to take her six year pictures. The deal was that if she gave me some pretty smiles she could also give me silly, scary or whatever she wanted.  She has quite the imagination!!

Good morning Father, thank you for the time I got to spend with the girls yesterday, especially for Colette’s pictures, and then the lessons in conversation and compromise. I love being a part of that!

Thank you for another day to try and do things that please you and help others.

Today Lord, I bring you Taylor. She has grown up so fast and become such a beautiful young lady. Please watch over and bless her, keep her pure of heart and compassionate towards others. Let her have the gift of humility so she can recognize that all good gifts come from you!

Bless Taylor’s family and friends, let your light shine on them.

Please accept this day as a prayer for Taylor. The chores, the laughter, the laundry, the tears, the quiet and the loud, all at your feet.

Grant success to the work of her hands.

Father, as I sit here in the quiet, in the presence of Jesus, I wonder what’s it gonna take to bring us back to you? I am afraid we have gone so far from you that the road back will not be an easy or painless one. You are probably going to have to shake us up!

Thank you for leading me back to you. For waiting patiently for me and for giving parents who prayed for my return. I pray for all those in my family who have walked away from you for various reasons. Most to do with the world today and the definitions of happiness and freedom that are nothing but a flash in the pan. The world doesn’t want to work towards true happiness and freedom in you.

Help me know how to pray. I desire to be led by your Holy Spirit to know what and how I pray pleases you. I also desire for my prayers to be efficacious for your ends. Please lead me and guide me.

I prayed for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be poured upon me, upon all your children, let me be part of setting the world on fire with faith in you. Please send those gifts, especially on your priests so they will ignite your people. Let your priests see the face of Christ in the Holy Eucharist they confect. Give them a burning faith and love!

Oh how good this world would be if we had the fruits of the Holy Spirit! What true happiness and freedom we would find! Lord, lead us to you! Send your Holy Spirit upon us! Set us ablaze!

Thank you for the day with Colette. Help it be our special time that we both remember with love. Please bless all of my babies, kids and grandkids, let your light shine on them and through them.

I offer my rosary today for Mike and Linda, for Randy and Judy, for Jeff, and for all others experiencing sickness or family problems. Give them strength, peace and patience to face each new day and each new trial. Give them some smiles in their lives!

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.

It’s Lisa’s day today. Please accept all the ups and downs, all the tasks completed, and any sacrifices in my day as a prayer for the intentions she holds in her heart.
