Prayer for Our Son

Heavenly Father, today is the anniversary of our son's birth, the day on which You allowed him to enter this magnificent world that You have made.

We thank You for the child that You have entrusted to us.

We want to cooperate with You fully in helping him grow into a free and responsible person and mature in the faith received at Baptism.

Grant us the grace to be able to guide him in the practice of virtue and the way of Your commandments--
by the good example of our lives, and by the loving observance of Your law and that of Your Church.

Most of all, however, guide him with Your Spirit so that he may know the vocation You will for him and be open to genuine self-giving and true Christian love.

Amen.
