I have these written in a scrapbook of my Alexander.
A Prayer to St Jerome Emiliani
Saint Jerome Emiliani, watch over all children who are abandoned or unloved. Give us the courage to show them God's love through our care. Help us to lose the chains that keep us from living the life God intended for us. Amen.
A Prayer to St Germaine
Saint Germaine, watch over those children who suffer abuse as you did. Help us to give to them the love and protection you only got from God. Give us the courage to speak out against abuse when we know of it. Help us to forgive those who abuse the way you did, without sacrificing the lives of the children who need help. Amen.
Forgive me, Alexander.
