Happy Birthday Br. John!!
Almighty Force of creation, the fountain of wisdom, whose will is good and gracious; you have bound us together in a common life. Look with favor on you servant, Br. John, bless and
guide him wherever he may be. Strengthen him when he
stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise
him up if he fall; and in his heart may thy peace, which
surpass understanding, abide all the days of his life.
Amen
