Heavenly Father, Today I thank You for the gift of my son and for another year of his life. As our all-merciful Father, continue to surround him with Your unfailing love and protect him as the Good Shepherd watches over His flock. Keep him close to You, one of Your beloved lambs, safe in Your care. Bless him with strong faith, good health, wisdom, courage, and a joyful heart. Guide his steps, help him grow in holiness, and remind him each day that he is deeply loved by You. May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for him, and may his guardian angel remain by his side throughout the coming year. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
