Spiritual Bouquet and Best Wishes
We know that many of you will want to offer prayers and best wishes to Brian on the occasion of his retirement. We have created this Celebrating Brian Beal form so that colleagues, friends and family members can share a personal sentiment, prayer or picture. We will collect what is submitted and present it to Brian at his Retirement Celebration in the fall.
Spiritual Bouquet
The prayers will become part of a Spiritual Bouquet, which is simply a group of prayers gathered for a specific intention and typically gifted to someone through a notation on a card or other small item. Some people may choose to offer more traditional prayers (such as Hail Marys or Our Fathers), whereas others may wish to offer a prayer in their own words … all prayers are welcome!
The idea of a spiritual bouquet is that each prayer, once prayed, becomes like a flower. Then, the group of prayers or devotional acts together, form a prayer bouquet offered as a gift to God for the intention of Mr. Beal’s retirement. We intend to give the spiritual bouquet to Brian at his retirement celebration in the fall.
