A prayer for this intention

For Laughter and Light

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Joyful Spirit at Home From a young age, Philip Neri embodied a lively joy that endeared him to those around him. Raised in a well-to-do family in Florence, his home was filled with the warmth and laughter that came from a deep-seated faith. This joy shaped his early interactions and laid the foundation for his future pastoral work. O joyful St. Philip Neri, you who radiated happiness from your earliest days, inspire us to cultivate joy in our own homes. Help us to fill our hearts and our spaces with laughter and love, reflecting the joy of Christ. May your intercession guide us in our needs, especially as we seek to fill our homes with your joy. (mention request here…) Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
