Catholic prayer of blessing and protection over your child

As parents, we all want what is best for our child. This is one of the reasons there is an ancient tradition of praying a special blessing over your child, especially when a significant life event is about to happen.

It could be their first day of college, their graduation, or after their wedding.

Whatever the case may be, our children need God's grace, and parents have a special responsibility to intercede for them with a prayer of blessing.

Here is a prayer of blessing over a child that can be found in the Book of Blessings.
