Virgin Mother, my Mother, come to the aid of my children!
May your blessing accompany them, guard them, and defend them. May it encourage them, sustain them in every difficulty, and in every place.
When they go off to work or to play, when they move from place to place, at every step they take, Virgin Mother, my Mother, watch over them.
When they face challenges and suffering, when the Evil One tries to seduce them with the attractions of pleasure, of violence, of temptation, of bad example, Virgin Mother, my Mother, watch over them.
Virgin Mother, watch over them and preserve them from every evil.
When they approach the Sacred Banquet to be fed with the Bread of Angels, with the Word that was made flesh in your womb, Virgin Mother, my Mother, bless my children.
When at night they prepare to rest so as to rise again with new energy, watch over their slumber and make each new day a step toward their eternal Homeland.
Virgin Mother, my Mother, bless my children, descend over them, in the day and in the night, in moments of joy and moments of sadness, in health and in sickness, in life and in death.
Bring them to live with you forever in eternity. Amen.
And today we celebrate...
