Heavenly Father,
Thou knowest the burdens we carry—both the seen and the silent.
We bring before Thee the expectations of family that lie beyond our reach.
Grant Angela peace, for she walketh in love, even when the path is misunderstood.
Let not strife arise where there was only effort and goodwill.

"Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife." —Proverbs 17:1
Let this quietness reign in her home, Lord.

Bless her husband, her children, and her uncle,
knit their hearts in strength and unity.
Let no seed of comparison or envy take root—
but let grace abound like the loaves in the wilderness, multiplied by compassion.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Saint Joseph, guardian of families,
Saint Rita, peacemaker in troubled households,
Saint Monica, who bore long seasons with love and patience—
pray with us, that Angela’s heart be uplifted and shielded.

Let it be known in heaven and in earth:
She is a woman after Thine own heart,
grateful, tender, and faithful in her charge.

In Jesus Christ’s holy name we pray.
Amen.
