O Saint Germaine, look down from Heaven and intercede for the many abused children in our world.
Help them to sanctify these sufferings, and ask God the Father to protect them and end the abuse they are enduring.
Strengthen children who suffer the effects of living in broken families.
Protect those children who have been abandoned by their parents and live in the streets.
Beg God’s grace of repentance and conversion on the parents who abuse their children.
Intercede for handicapped children and their parents.
Saint Germaine, you who suffered neglect and abuse so patiently, pray for our intentions
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
St Germaine Cousin, pray for us.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
