Prayers answered - Thanks!

[Musician]

My daughter finally contacted me (after announcing she had no use for her entire family) a few days ago. Believe it or not, she has invited us over to her apt. this weekend for dinner and board games! We are thrilled but still bewildered.
I am not sure, but I think she is trying to become independent of me (we have always been very close) and doesn’t quite know how to go about it.
Please pray for my DH and for me that we have wisdom in dealing with our daughter.
And many, many thanks for the prayers you offered up on our behalf!

Thanks be to God.

 

[St_Gabriel]

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be;
world without end.
Amen.

Loving God,

Please continue to bless this family and draw them closer together as they live out their calling to love and serve you and your people. Thank you for the change in dear daughter’s approach to family life.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd of your people.

Amen.

Wonderful.

I hope the dinner goes very well and your daughter and you will stay very close.

Thanks be to God in the highest! I will pray for the safety of your family and that you and your husband have a good time at your daughter’s dinner.

THE PRAYER
SAINT ANNE, BLESS MY FAMILY
My family is the heart of my life.
It is my little Church.
Saint Anne, guard the members of my family
against all physical and spiritual danger.

You lived in the presence of your husband Joachim
and your little daughter Mary.
Later, you welcomed your son-in-law, Saint Joseph,
and above all your beloved Grandson Jesus, our Saviour.

May your family inspire our families.
May we remain united in a deep mutual love.
If my family is broken by separation or divorce,
remain for us the Saint of tenderness and lead us to God.

Saint Anne, you were a spouse, a mother, and a grandmother;
bless all the members of my family.
Keep us faithful to the Lord.

May we remain attentive to the needs of other families.
Protect all families.
