Holy Father, Eternal God! I pray to you for my child (name), whose goodness has been bestowed upon me. You gave him existence, revived him with an immortal soul, protected him with holy baptism, so that he could live in accordance with Your will and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Keep him in Your grace until the end of his life. Help me with Your grace, so that I may raise him for the glory of Your name and for the benefit of others, give me the necessary means, patience and strength for this.

Lord, enlighten him with the light of Your wisdom, so that he loves You with all his soul and with all his thoughts. Plant in his heart fear and disgust from all lawlessness, so that he will be blameless in his ways.

Lord, adorn his soul with chastity, long-suffering and all honesty, so that all slander, lies and flattery will be detestable to him. Sprinkle him with the dew of Thy grace, that he may prosper in virtue and holiness, and may he grow in Thy love and the love of pious people.

May the Guardian Angel always be with him and protect his youth from vain thoughts, from the charms and temptations of this world and from all slander of the evil one.

And even if he sins against You, do not turn Your face away from him, but be merciful to him, arouse contrition in his heart and, according to the multitude of Your generosity, cleanse his sins.

Do not deprive him of Your earthly blessings, but give him everything he needs in time to acquire blissful eternity. Save him from all misfortune, misfortune and illness, and give shelter all the days of his life.

Good God, I still pray to You: grant me joy and gladness for my child and grant me to appear at Your Last Judgment and say with shameless boldness: behold, I my child, what you gave to me, Lord. Yes, together with him glorifying Your ineffable mercy, I exalt Your holy name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
