A Day for the Children

Lord, what love you have lavished on us

by letting us be called your children!

What hope you have given us

by revealing to us that your kingdom belongs to mere children!

What joy you have bestowed on us

by sending your only Son to live as a child among us.

Lord, bless the children in our families,

keep them in your care,watch over them that they may not be lost,

but through all the trials of life

they may find their home with you. Amen.
