For children
To pray for your children, your grandchildren, or the children you love. And so that they can pray too.
Angel of God
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.

In our own words
Jesus, friend of children, watch over the children I love. May they grow up healthy, happy, and good, close to you. May their guardian angel always walk beside them. Amen.
