A Prayer of Parents for Children
O God our heavenly Father, who lovest mankind, and art most merciful and
compassionate, have mercy upon thy servants for whom I humbly pray thee,
and commend to thy gracious care and protection. Be thou, O God, their
guide and guardian in all their endeavors, lead them in the path of thy truth,
and draw them nearer to thee, that they may lead a godly and righteous life
in thy love and fear; doing thy will in all things. Give them grace that they
may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout and charitable. Defend them
against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to
resist all temptation and corruption of this life; and direct them in the way of
salvation, through the merits of thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, and the
intercessions of his Holy Mother and thy blessed saints.
Amen.

A Prayer of a Child
Our Father who art in heaven, bless my father and mother, my
guardians, and those who are in authority over me, for their love
and tender care for me, and the benefits I receive at their hands.
Help me, I pray Thee, to be respectful and obedient to them in all
things according to thy will; and give me thy grace to perform all
my duties carefully and faithfully, to avoid undesirable company
and influence, and resist all temptation that may come my way;
that I may live a sober, righteous and godly life, ever pleasing
Thee, and glorifying thy Holy Name. Amen.
