A small prayer for our little ones.

[dar...@yahoo.com]

Parents and Sponsors,

 Let us all recite this small prayer for our children.

O Jesus, who hast loved us with such exceeding great love 
as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist, 
inflame us with a burning zeal to promote Thy glory 
by preparing worthily the little children 
who are to approach Thy holy table for the first time. 
Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, 
these young souls from the assaults of evil, 
strengthen their faith, 
increase their love and endow them 
with all the virtues that will make them worthy to receive 
Thee.

Amen.

Saint John the Baptist, 
forerunner of the Messias, 
prepare the way for Jesus in the hearts of these children. 

Saint Tarcisius, 
keep safe the children who are making their first 
Communion.

(It would be ideal if all parents, sponsors and teachers can do fasting and abstinence tomorrow, Friday 5/17/2013.)
