Prayer

Tags: Prayer, For younger readers

Dear God,
Saint Josemaría loved you a lot and he also loved children.
I would like to love you as much as he did and to please you always.
I want to help you make the world a better place and to make people happier.
I want to think about you all day long, when I get up and when I go to bed, when I’m doing my homework and when I’m playing.
I want to obey my parents, to be kind to my brothers and sisters, and to pay
attention in school.
I want to share the things I have and the presents I get.
I can’t do these things on my own.
Dear God, Saint Josemaría is very close to you in Heaven and he helps me to be
good.
Saint Josemaría, please ask God for the favour I want… (ask for the favour you
want).
My Guardian Angel, help me too.
Amen.
