• A powerful prayer for our children - from "St. Augustine's Prayer Book":
  
  "O Heavenly Father, I commend the souls of my children
  to thee.  Be thou their God and Father; and mercifully supply whatever
  is wanting in me through frailty or negligence.  Strengthen them to
  overcome the corruptions of the world, to resist all solicitations to
  evil, whether from within or without; and deliver them from the secret
  snares of the enemy.  Pour thy grace into their hearts, and confirm and
  multiply in them the gifts of thy Holy Spirit, that they may daily grow
  in grace and in knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; and so faithfully
  serving thee here, may come to rejoice in thy presence hereafter. 
  Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen."
