Send the Spirit of Jesus to be with us, to still our fears and give us confidence.   In the stormy waters, Jesus reassured his disciples by his presence, calmed the storm, and strengthened their faith. Guard us from harm during this storm and renew our faith to serve you faithfully.   Give us the courage to face all difficulties and the wisdom to see the ways your Spirit binds us together in mutual assistance. With confidence we make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.   (Prayer via Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers. USCCB. 2007)   In Christ, Fr. Miguel & Fr. Robert
