As we begin this meaningful celebration, may we all put ourselves in the

presence of our Lord as we altogether say… in the name of the Father and of
the son and of the Holy Spirit…Amen

Father God, we dedicate this very special day to You. We thank you for giving
us the most wonderful gift, a loving daughter, a helpful sister and a trusted
friend in the person of our dearest Divine. We thank you for the opportunity in
bringing us together and share a glorious event that marks her 18th birthday.

May you continue to shower her blessings and guide her on the right path as
she continue to journey her life here on Earth. Help her to achieve all her
dreams and aspirations in life and remain humble, God- fearing, and a
responsible person. Grant her the realization of her heart’s desires and blessed
her with abundance.

May our Loving and Generous God offer her the virtue of kindness, patience,
honesty, understanding, perseverance and all the goodness that may be
pleasing to others and most especially, to Your holiness.

We thank You for giving her 18 years of blissful yet challenging years and for the
courage that she possess. As she enters another fruitful phase in life, guide and
protect her against imperfections that may hinder her success and true
happiness.

We praise you Lord for surrounding her with love from family, relatives, and
friends. Their presence in their life makes the person she is now. Give them
strength and good health always so that they may continue to support and
direct her journey through life.

Lord God, be our silent guest tonight as we celebrate this wonderful event for
our dearly Divine. Be with us and bless everyone who made this event possible.
Fill our hearts with Your love, faithfulness and mercy as we gather in Your name
and bless also the meal that we share in this joyful evening.

We entrust all our prayers unto You in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, AMEN
