Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for the nourishment that You provide to warm our hearts and cleanse our souls.

I pray that more are transformed by Your always outstretched hand and sacred heart.

Thank You for the examples of great faith and strength through challenges and difficulties. May all of these examples and their souls rest in peace through Your mercy and grace.

Thank You for how You embrace the faithfully departed with Your immense love.

Grant Your peace and grace to the families of the recently departed. Bear-hug them with Your love and favor.

Grant us the strength to do all things in Your name, in order to glorify You.

Grow our borders, grant that we acknowledge and follow Your will for our lives, my savior and Lord, Amen.
