Staying Connected through Prayer
|
On Saturday, we celebrated the seniors with a Senior Car Parade at Carondelet! We used the opportunity to express our gratitude for them and the joy that they all brought to our lives. As they continue forward with the adventure of their lives, we want to always remind them that they are not alone and have a home at Carondelet. So, we pray:
Loving God,
Today we pray for our graduating seniors and their families in our community. We pray that we can all stay connected with one another and remember that we are not alone. Help us to be grateful for the friendships and relationships we have made. Teach us to always value the people who are important to us. We ask for a special blessing on all the seniors, that they always remember their roots and to always love their dear neighbor without distinction. We also thank you for the many hours spent in the preparation for the senior parade and for all the people that were involved in making it such a special send-off for our amazing seniors and their families.
Amen.
St Joseph… Pray for us, God is my light.
In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer, and of the Sustainer. Amen
Have a great morning and be love in someone's life today!
