The following prayer was received when we were concerned that many children of the present generation were not being baptised. It can be a consolation for Grandparents:
Heavenly Father, Creator of life and all that is good. We ask that you bless in a special way all the babies throughout the world who are born this day. Protect them from the ravages of evil. Fill them with the vitality and the light of the Holy Spirit; light which as their lives unfold will enable them to see and recognise your Divine Son Jesus and to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. Amen.
