our beloved children. Help us to understand them and
to listen patiently to what they have to say. May they
always be pleasing to you and ever be close to your
abiding presence and love. Make us better parents and

promise to accompany and guide them as they grow
into authentic and faithful Christians.

children and for making us their parents and
godparents. We know how great the responsibility you
handed over to us. The challenges are surmountable
because we believe that you are with us in all our
endeavors and struggles. We believe you will not fail
us and you will lead us to where you want us to be.

We ask you, Father, through the inspiration and
intercession of Mary and Joseph, that you will bless
and keep us from all harm. Keep our family together in
love and peace as we fulfill the mission you have
entrusted to us.
