Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the gift of Father Pat and
for the many ways he reflects Your love to those he serves.
Pour out Your blessings upon him today and
throughout the coming year.
Fill him with the joy of Your presence,
the peace that comes from trusting in You,
and the love that renews and strengthens his spirit each day.
May his ministry bear abundant fruit,
may his heart remain firmly rooted in Christ,
and may all who encounter him be drawn closer to You.
Grant him wisdom, health, strength, and
continued zeal in serving Your people.
May his life always bring glory and honor to Your holy name.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
May God continue to bless you richly today and always.
