Jesus - tender brother and dearest friend.
We present to You our children
Your priceless gift to our families.
May their lives be always signs leading
us closer to our heavenly home.
You yourself have said:
“that the kingdom of your father
belongs to these little ones and
the no one will enter in it unless
becomes like one of them.”
It is our prayer that they never lose
their innocence, purity of heart and
most of all their love for You.
Dear Jesus, these children are our hope
for the future in carrying your name.
So, we ask You to bless them
and embraces them with
your abundant love and care.
We ask this through the power of the Holy Spirit,
Who enables us to cry Abba - our Father.
Amen.
Saint Anthony Zaccaria,
helper of the poor and the sick, you who devoted your life to our spiritual welfare, listen to my humble and hopeful prayer. Continue your work as doctor and priest by obtaining from GOD healing from my physical and moral sickness, so that free from all evil and sin, I may love the LORD with joy, fulfill with fidelity my duties, work generously for the good of my brothers and sisters, and for my sanctification. Amen
