Prayers for Relatives and Baptized Children

Lord Jesus Christ, may Your mercy be upon my children (names), guard them under Your protection, keep them from every sly snare, deliver them from every enemy and adversary, open to them the eyes and the ears of the heart, grant them compassion and humility of heart. Lord, we are all Your creation, have mercy on my children (names), and enlighten their minds with the light of understanding of Your Gospel, and direct them on the path of keeping Your commandments, and teach them, O Savior, to do Your will, for You are our God. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, hear me by my petitions and prayers to Your Most Pure Mother, an imperfect and unworthy servant of Yours (name). Lord, in Your merciful rule, my children and servants and children, indeed, and Yours (names). Have mercy and save them for the sake of Your name. Lord, forgive them all their transgressions and sins—both voluntary and involuntary—committed before You. Lord, guide them onto the true path of Your commandments and enlighten their mind with Your light for the salvation of the soul and healing of the body. Lord, bless them at home, in school or any educational institution, on the road and at every place of Your dominion.

Lord, keep them under Your holy Protection from arrows, poison, fire, deadly pestilence and brazen death. Lord, guard them from all visible and invisible enemies, from every disease, cleanse them from all impurity and ease their mental suffering. Lord, grant them the grace of Your Holy Spirit for many years, health and chastity.

Lord, increase and strengthen their mental abilities and bodily strength, which You have given them, and grant Your blessing for a pious, and if it be pleasing to You, a family life and a fruitful offspring. Lord, grant to me, Your servant (name), paternal blessing over my children, and thereby over Your servants and children in this present time, in the morning, by day and by night, for the sake of Your name, for Your Kingdom is eternal, all‑powerful and almighty. Amen.
