Learn prayers to protect children and children

Children’s Day is celebrated on October 12. It is there that we give thanks for the children, nephews, godchildren and stepchildren who are in our hearts. A big bunch of biological relatives or not.

Bertrand Russell explained our relationship and interaction with children very well when he wrote that “our parents love us because we are their children, it is an unalterable fact. In times of success, this may seem irrelevant, but in times of failure, they offer a comfort and security not found anywhere else.”

There is a definition about children that has been attributed to José Saramago, but the exact author is not known. “Son is a being that we were lent to an intensive course on how to love someone other than ourselves, how to change our worst flaws to set the best examples and learn to have courage. That’s right! Being a parent is the greatest act of courage anyone can have, because it is exposing yourself to all kinds of pain, especially the uncertainty of doing the right thing and the fear of losing something so loved. Lose? As? It’s not ours, remember? It was just a loan!”

Therefore, for this very special week, there are two prayers for the protection and blessing of children.
