Merciful God in Heaven, look with Your immense compassion upon this family in their time of testing. You alone conceived of them from all eternity as an irreplaceable part of your Divine Plan. Graciously sustain them now, as they await the arrival of Your graces. Grant them great faith in Your trustworthiness, and ease their despairing hearts. Lord, we love You and we trust You to provide for them as Your will allows. Draw them ever closer together as they ponder, in light of Your mercy, that which lies ahead. As Christ rebuked the wind and waves, graciously calm the seas of their lives, that they may contemplate You in awe of Your Goodness. Grant them the faith to thank you for both the good and the bad which befalls them, as You send the rain upon the righteous as well as the sinner. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleuia!
