Heavenly Father, lover of all, we praise you for giving us Jesus as our Saviour: He blessed the children who came to Him, and welcomes those who come to Him now.

Look with love upon my son  JM and protect him with your love. May he grow in wisdom and age and strength and in the sight of all.

We ask this blessing , Father, through Your beloved Son, Christ our Lord.

Amen

Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Immaculate Heart of Mary,

full of love for God and mankind,

and of compassion for sinners,

I consecrate myself to you.

I entrust to you the salvation of my soul.

May my heart be ever united with yours,

so that I may hate sin,

love God and my neighbor,

and reach eternal life with

those  whom I love.

May I experience the kindness of your motherly heart

and the power of your intercession with Jesus

during my life and at the hour of my death.

                                                          Amen
