O Lord God, who have called us to the
state of holy matrimony and made our
love fruitful, we ardently recommend to
your holy protection our dear children.
Preserve them; make them grow as Jesus
did, in grace before God and people.
Implant in their hearts so great a love for
you that they would prefer death to
grievous sin. Teach them to put all their
trust in you and to walk warily amidst the
temptations of youth. Give them a filial
devotion to your Holy Mother, that she
may keep them free from sin,
blucWe consecrate to you, O Lord, the
children you have given us. If it pleases
you to call them to follow you more closely,
give us enough faith to make the sacrifice
of them with our whole hearts. Grant that
our sins may not be visited upon them.
Look upon our prayers and sacrifices on                                                                                                                                              their behalf, and bless them all their days,
so that together with them we may be
gathered round your throne in heaven for
all eternity.
