Christ Child Prayer
Remember in the sacrifice of Your own and only Child, all children everywhere throughout the world, and grant that, like Your Son, as they increase in years, they may grow in grace and wisdom before You, and in the sight of all, for the improvement and saving of the world. Jesus, friend of little children, bless the little children of the world.
Amen.
