Dear Alex,
Thank you for this opportunity.
Bless me Holy Father, a sinner!
Thank him for being the apostle to the world that he is. Sometimes I tremble a little thinking about his not being on this earth with us, being a convert, there has always been a comfort with his physical presence in the world for me. Yet I know his presence in heaven will be far greater. Let him know that we are praying for him and his successor.
I ask him for a blessing for my familly and that a prayer that our children will always walk with the Lord, and that our daugher-in-law will get baptized soon. Also, for my husband as he enters this last year of prepration for the deaconate, that God will lead him in all things. And that our youngest son will be hungry to learn to read and write and hopefully answer the call to the priesthood. I give them all to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Also, a special prayer for their Godparents, one is a priest, Fr. Michael Campbell, and for our priest Fr. Frank.
In Christ,
Stan and Rose Cholewinski
