A mother's prayer for her children
Lord Jesus, teach me to understand, to accept,
to encourage the vocation of my children.
Guide my gestures, inspire my words
because nothing in me hinders them
in following the path you called them on.
Make me attentive to their needs,
respectful of their feelings,
capable of supporting them in times of doubt
or test.
Give me the courage of selfless love,
ready to sacrifice,
And your mother Maria
I am every day
of comfort, help, and example
on this path.
Amen.
