(Suitable for those in charge of children.)
O ETERNAL God, made an Infant for love of us, to Thee do I offer each little child, whom for Thy love and in honor of Thy holy childhood I will devote my whole strength to instruct and save. Grant that I may ever behold Thee in the children confided to my care: and never, oh, never permit, my Jesus, that any act or word of mine should scandalize Thy little ones.
Give me a share in Thy humility, Thy charity, and Thy gentleness to all. Grant Thy blessing to my labors and bring me safely to heaven, where surrounded by these little ones whom I taught to love Thee, I may praise Thee and bless Thee for ever.
