"Never give up, never become discouraged or think God does not answer prayers. We know God is very attentive to all of our needs, wants and desires, but in His time and according to His ways."
Coming soon!
Heavenly Father, Gwen Coniker was a model for family fidelity. She taught parents and grandparents how to sacrifice everything to fulfill God's will and become persons and families for others. Thank you for her work in the spirit of Pope John Paul II for the renewal of the Church and society through family consecration.
Gwen was a person for others who joyfully lived Your Will by fulfilling the responsibilities of each present moment. She faithfully and lovingly carried out the duties and commitments of her state in life. She showed us how to be always grateful in the deepest of trials, and how to discern and do God's will moment by moment. Gwen also showed us how to gracefully die a prolonged and painful death without complaint or self-pity.
Heavenly Father, we ask you to glorify Gwen. May the Church raise her to the honor of the altars for the encouragement of "family and parish consecration in the truth" to the Holy Family, and for the protection of our families from the evil one (cf. John 17:15-17).
We make our prayer and petition for the work of the Apostolate for Family Consecration and our special requests (mention your intentions) through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
