The Word of God teaches us: “instruct a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it… Indeed, becoming a parent brings immense joy, but sometimes the life of parenting also includes moments of pain and worry. The truth is that regardless of the age of our children, as parents only we want them to be happybut although we love them and are attentive to them, this will not prevent them from going through difficult moments. Therefore, prayer can be a form effective of accompany them, and to help them become stronger and freer to face the dangers of this world. Also, pray for the children it also helps them to fulfill themselves and succeed in their lives. When we give our children to God, we also entrust our role as parents, our family, and we place ourselves under the protection of the Lord, the only Father capable of giving everything for his children. .

How to pray for my son?
pray for your son It is not just asking the Lord to take care of you and protect you, it also means trust in God’s plan of love for our son or daughter. For example, Saint Monica was a model of trust in God, as she prayed tirelessly for the conversion of her son, Saint Augustine, until God answered her prayer: to become a servant and saint of the Lord.
We must keep in mind that God listens to the prayers of parents and knows the paths that each one must take to fulfill their purpose on this earth. Therefore, We must have trust and patience.
ideal is pray constantly for your son, whatever the circumstances. You can do it every morning or every night, as a family or individually, through a heart-to-heart conversation with the Lord to ask him to bless and protect our son.
On the other hand, if our child is going through a particularly difficult time, we can pray to the Lord through a ninth or praying a more specific prayer, for example, the prayer of deliverance or healing.
We can also ask the Lord to strengthen and enlighten our hearts as parents, and to help us accompany our son in the different stages of his life.

A mother’s prayer for her son
“My God, I offer you my children;
You gave them to me, they belong to you forever;
I educate them for you and I ask you
keep them for your glory.
Lord, let selfishness, ambition, wickedness
do not deviate them from the right path.
May they have strength to act against evil
and that the motive of all his acts
be always and only good.
There is so much evil in this world, Lord!
You know how weak we are
and as evil many times fascinates us;
but you are with us

Give them light, strength and joy on this earth, Lord,
so that they may live for You on this earth; and that in heaven,
all together, we can enjoy your company forever. Amen.”

To which saints should I entrust my son?
As parents, we can ask the intercession of the saints to bring our prayers to the Lord. In fact, we can entrust our children to some saints and blessed whose youth makes them powerful intercessors for our children. Among them we can mention Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Blessed Carlos Acutis, Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, among others…
On the other hand, depending on the times our child is going through, we can also turn to certain saints in a more specific way. For example, we can pray to:
– San Expedito, for exam periods or school tests
– Saint Benedict to ward off evil
– Saint Monica for the conversion of our children
We can also pray to Saint Anne (mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus), or Saint Luis and Celia Martin (parents of Saint Therese), to help us fulfill our role as parents as the Lord commands.
