PRAYER FOR CHILDREN TO THE HOLY FAMILY

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, only-begotten Son of the ETERNAL FATHER, well-beloved Son of the Blessed Virgin and foster Child of St. Joseph, we most fervently implore Thee, through Mary and Joseph, take our children under Thy special charge and Enclose them in the Love of Thy SACRED HEART. They are the children of Thy FATHER in Heaven, created after His own image; they are Thy possession, for Thou hast purchased them with Thy PRECIOUS BLOOD; they are temples of the HOLY SPIRIT, Who sanctified them in Baptism and implanted in their hearts the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. 

O most loving JESUS, Rule and Guide them, that they may live according to the holy Catholic Faith, that they may not waver in their confidence in Thee and that they may ever remain faithful to Thy Love. 

O MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY, Blessed Mother of JESUS, grant to our children a place in thy pure maternal Heart! Spread over them thy protecting mantle when danger threatens their innocence; keep them firm when they are about to stray from the path of virtue; and should they have the misfortune of falling into mortal sin, oh, then raise them up again, reconcile them with thy Divine Son and restore them to Sanctifying Grace. 

And thou, O holy foster father SAINT JOSEPH, do not abandon our children! Protect them from the assaults of the wicked enemy and deliver them from all dangers of soul and body. 

O dear Parents of the Holy Child JESUS! Intercede for us parents also, that we may bring up our children in the love and fear of GOD and one day attain with them the Beatific Vision. Amen.

Please grant them wisdom in their decisions, discernment in their choices, and strength in times of temptation. Protect them from negative influences and surround them with good friends who will support and encourage them on their journey.

Most merciful Mother, I also ask you to intercede for my children's health and well-being. If they are facing any physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges, please bring them healing, comfort, and peace. Strengthen their bodies, minds, and spirits so that they may flourish and fulfill the purpose that God has for them.

Lastly, dear Lady, I ask for your intercession in their future endeavors. Guide them in their studies, careers, and relationships. Help them discover their unique talents and use them for the greater glory of God and the service of others. May they always find fulfillment and happiness in their vocations, whatever they may be.
