Thank you for always watching over us and protecting us. We acknowledge, Lord, that all too often we fall prey to our impulses, emotions, or learned patterns of behaviors. Our father, son, and holy spirit, grant us your blessing. Bless the Church that you loved and served and guided, courageously leading her along the paths of the world to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus. Bless the young, who were your great passion. Help them dream again, help them look up to the heavens again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life here on earth. May you bless each family. We pray this, thanking and asking guidance from our father, son, and the holy spirit. Amen.
