Prayer to be recited for children when they are in difficulty

Blessed Virgin Mary,

turn your mother's gaze on (name of the son).

He has been regenerated to the supernatural way

through Baptism,

and he became the son of God and heir to Heaven;

but remember that at the same time

he is also your son, Maria.

Right now

Jesus repeats those memorable words to you:

"Mother, here is your son" !.

Therefore accept it under your special protection

totally and forever.

Guard it and defend it as your property and property,

and fulfill your mission as a Mother towards him,

so that through you it may grow good and holy.

Defend it from all the dangers of soul and body

and may one day participate

of eternal life in the glory of heaven.

And you, Giuseppe, join your beloved bride

in taking care of this son of mine,

as one day you did with the Son of God.

Amen.
