Currently I am deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom; at home remain my wife, 6 and 3 year old daughters, and four month old son. If you could keep them in your prayers, especially my 6 year old who is having the hardest time with my absence, it would be appreciated more than you know.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, thank you for your brave servant and his courageous family. Please see them through this difficult time and reward them for their honor and fidelity. In particular, bless and strengthen that young girl and help her to find her strength and consolation in you while her earthly father is away. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and Father Joseph, pray for this family. Amen.<\/p>\n
