 Prayer for Protection of Children from Diabolical Influences This prayer should be recited by parents, grandparents, godparents, and other relatives having a close relationship with a child. It can also be said by teachers, daycare providers, and other individuals whose profession is to care for children. Its recitation should not be limited to minor children, but for adult children as well. Eternal Father, you have entrusted the lives and souls of these children to my care. I beseech Thee now to offer them protection from demonic influences. Protect their eyes, ears, and lips from the lies, deceits, and seductions of the devil. Defend them from the attacks of the evil spirits, as well as those from wicked persons who align themselves with the dark forces. Guide them to virtuous desires and interests, shielding them from music, projections, and written words which are of a diabolical nature. Enlist your angels to stand beside them, leading them away from circumstances which would seduce them to sin. Keep them pure of heart to avoid the temptations of the flesh and physical gratification outside the confines of holy matrimony. Assist them as they struggle against the enticements of the world, showing them that all good things come from you alone, and that by following your laws they will not only attain true happiness, but the gift of eternal life with you in heaven. Amen. catholicprayerbook.net - catholicprayerbook.net Page Background by: Cottontail Graphics |
