Parents for Children
Heavenly Father, eternal salvation of our souls and bodies: grant Your heavenly blessing to my child(ren) (names). In all the changes and chances of this fleeting world, extend Your mighty hand over them to shield them from all physical and spiritual danger and adversity. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that he/she/they may always love You and strive to fulfill Your holy will as devout members of Your Church. Grant him/her/them so to please You in this age that he/she/they may finally inherit Your glorious Kingdom in the age to come. For Yours it is to save us, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
