Catholic Prayer for My Son
The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I lift my son into Your loving care. Guard his heart and guide his steps.
May Your wisdom light his choices, Your strength protect him in weakness, and Your grace shape the man he is becoming.
When he struggles, remind him that You are near. When he succeeds, teach him gratitude and humility.
Fill him with courage, compassion, and faith so that his life may reflect Your love to the world.
Amen.
