A Prayer for Families

We bless your name, O Lord,

for sending your own incarnate Son,

to become part of a family,

so that, as he lived its life,

he would experience its worries and its joys.

We ask you, Lord,

to protect and watch over this family, 

so that in the strength of your grace

its members may enjoy prosperity,

possess the priceless gift of your peace,

and, as the Church alive in the home,

bear witness in this world to your glory.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Paquito's Baptism

Welcoming Paquito into our Catholic Faith are Paco and Esme's family

Paquito doesn't like anybody other than mom and dad!!

Okay, He does like his Tio/Padrino Güero.

Getting ready for his special day, Baptismal Mass!

Little Dallas fan. but if he follows his dad's footsteps... soccer will be his game. 

Meanwhile, he can wear football apparel. 

I do have to say that being chosen is an honor. I was so excited and humbled when Paco and Esme sat me down to ask me if I wanted to be Paquito's madrina this past February.  I know it is a great responsibility to be a godparent. I'm happy to be a part of his life and hope I can help our child grow in faith.
