Children's Prayer

[Patty]

Children


Holy Father in Heaven,
Thank You for the gift of children's voices
When we gather together to worship you.

The sound of those small voices brings to mind
Your Only Son, Jesus Christ.
How wonderful to remember that He, too, was a small child,
Just like the ones with us today.
The sound of His Voice brought joy and profound love
To His Holy Mother's heart.

When I hear these children, Dear Father,
It will help me to remember that You truly are with us today.
I will hear the Voice of the Child Jesus,
Even as we remember His unselfish love,
Which He gave to us in His maturity.

Thank You, Father, for reminding us
Of Your Divine and Holy Presence in our lives.

That's a beautiful prayer Patty. Thanks for sharing it.

Glad you liked it.

It came to me after sitting in church so many times when children were making noise. Then, one day at Sunday service, the priest made an announcement that parents were welcome to take their children so as not to disrupt the service.

I suddenly saw what I wrote in the prayer.

Why do we forget what you have expressed in the last sentence?
