Prayer to ask for a good future of the children

O Lord,
it came for our child
the moment of fundamental and demanding choices,
full of responsibility for the future.

Guide him / her with the light of your Spirit,
so that I can know the vocation
to which you call him,
and can guide his whole life
to donation and not to selfishness.

Give it to us
to be able to / help him.
Amen.

You, Lord, know us one by one and call us by name:
give each man a vocation, to achieve salvation,
to give you glory and to be of help to the men around him.
Even for our son the time has come to recognize the way
that you scored for him.
Light up his mind with your light, support him with your strength,
why not settle for easy ideals.
He also enlightens us, his parents, because we are helping him
in recognizing his vocation and in realizing it generously,
without impeding his freedom and without opposing him
to your inner guide. So be it.
