For my daughter, Elizabeth Mary, who is deploying—that Jesus will hold her close and keep her safe; that Our Lady will walk hand in hand with her, and St. Joseph will adopt her as his own, providing for her in every way. For Greg and their marriage. For my daughters and granddaughters to grow as godly mothers, for conversion and deeper faith in my heart and in my family. For discernment of God’s will and the grace to accept it, even when it’s not what I might want.
