O Heavenly Father,

I commend my children unto You. Be their God and Father, and mercifully supply whatever is wanting in me through frailty or negligence. Strengthen them to overcome the corruptions of the world, to resist all solicitations to evil, whether from within or without; and deliver them from the secret snares of the enemy.

Pour Your grace into their hearts, and confirm and multiply in them the gifts of Your Holy Spirit, that they may daily grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and so, faithfully serving You here, may come to rejoice in Your presence hereafter.

Amen.”
