Pray that child back to God

     I just watched a wonderful Doctor say a prayer for any child that needs to be protected or to come back to God. It was so beautiful! The words were sincere and like a song of Hope and Love. They asked God to protect and keep that child safe on his/her journey to God, or back to God. 

     Nothing is more tender to the eyes and ears of God, as a sincere heartfelt prayer for a child. So many of them are needing it. It doesn't matter if that child is 10 years old or 50 years old. After all, we are all children of God. The path can be strewn with thorns or laid with roses. The struggles are in everyone's lives. The children, as us adults, need those extra prayers, or sentiments, to help with those struggles. Protection of those prayers is immense. They are an extra shield of Hope that one can give when a discernment might be blinded from the world's direction to choose things that are not of God. 

     Our precious children, are just that. Precious. Precious in our sight and the sight of God. 

     If you see a child struggling, pray for them. Pray for their heart to be open to the love of God, their Creator. It is not wasted time, but exactly the opposite. Even if we do not see the fruits of that prayer, believe that God has heard your sincere petition and will answer it in the way that only He can do it the best. 

     St Monica prayed for many years. Many other Saints prayed for humanity. God tests us and those tests are beautiful fragrant flowers that can blossom, especially when someone prays for us or we pray for each other. 

     Saint Ignatius of Loyola and Saint Germanus, pray for us and guide us!
