Holy Father, Eternal God, from You comes every gift or every good. I diligently pray to You for the children whom Your grace has given to me. You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them through holy baptism, so that, in accordance with Your will, they would inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, preserve them according to Your goodness until the end of their lives. Holy them by Your truth, hallowed be Your name in them. Help me with Your grace to educate them for the glory of Your name and for the benefit of others, give me the necessary means for this: patience and strength.
Lord, enlighten them with the light of Your Wisdom, may they love You with all their souls, with all their thoughts, instill in their hearts fear and disgust from all lawlessness, may they walk in Your commandments, adorn their souls with chastity, hard work, long-suffering, honesty, protect them with righteousness from slander, vanity, abomination, sprinkle with the dew of grace Yours, may they excel in virtues and holiness and may they increase in Your favor, love and piety.
May the Guardian Angel always be with them and protect their youth from vain thoughts, from the temptations of this world and from all evil slander.
And if they sin before You, Lord, do not turn Your face away from them, but be merciful to them, arouse repentance in their hearts according to the multitude of Your compassions, cleanse their sins and not deprive them of Your blessings, but give them everything necessary for their salvation, preserving them from all illness, danger, troubles and sorrows, overshadowing them with Your mercy all the days of this life.
God, I pray to You, give me joy and gladness about my children and grant me permission to appear with them at Your Last Judgment, with shameless boldness to say: “Behold, I am the children you gave me, Lord. Amen". Let us glorify Your All-Holy Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
