Help our families to mirror your love for the poor by sharing their abundance with those who are in need. Guide parents in the raising of their children to become caring and devoted Christians.
Help our children to grow in respect for God and the church established by our Lord Jesus Christ. Assist them in times of doubt and alienation. Be a beacon for them, shining through the darkness, showing them the way.
Be with our revered elders in their time of sunset and waning days. Allow their golden memories to comfort them and inspire them to seek the strength and solace their faith offers them in declining years. Open our holy seniors to the good they can perform and give to their church as a memory of their love and a testimony of their faith.
Hold our parish family in the palm of your hand and protect us from any dissension or lack of faithful regard for each other or our parish. Bless all those who have made the celebration of this renaissance of our parish possible. Ispire all our parish family members to be eager and interested in the practice of their faith through the instrument of our parish
Saint Edward, intercede for us.
St Edward's Feast Day, October 13
Amen.
