Prayer of Blessing for Father Tom Gills

Lord God our Father, in Your loving kindness You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be our eternal Shepherd. We praise You and thank You for bringing Father Tom to our parish to guide us by word and example and to share the Gospel message of faith, hope, and love with us. May he know our appreciation for his faithful stewardship as our pastor, and carry our love and support with him as he continues to faithfully serve You in his ministry. Abundantly bless and keep Father Tom in Your constant care and let Your light radiantly guide him, and through him ~ others, to know, love and serve only You. We ask this through Your Son, Jesus Christ, who with You and the Holy Spirit, is God forever and ever. Amen.
