A Prayer for those who are preparing Children for their First Holy Communion
O Jesus, who hast loved us with such exceeding great love
as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist,
inflame us with a burning zeal to promote Thy glory
by preparing worthily the little children
who are to approach Thy holy table for the first time.
Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
these young souls from the assaults of evil,
strengthen their faith,
increase their love and endow them
with all the virtues that will make them worthy to receive
Thee.
Amen.
Saint John the Baptist,
forerunner of the Messias,
prepare the way for Jesus in the hearts of these children.
Saint Tarcisius,
keep safe the children who are making their first
Communion.
