While we are deep in the season of Lent, you are also thinking about upcoming First Communions and Confirmations. These are prayers you may want to pass along to families who have candidates or have catechists use them as part of their session closing prayers.
BLESSING DURING THE TIME OF PREPARATION FOR CONFIRMATION:
“N., in baptism you were claimed for Christ. May God bless you now and watch over you.”
BLESSING DURING THE TIME OF PREPARATION FOR FIRST COMMUNION:
“N., may the Lord Jesus touch your ears to receive his word,
and your mouth to proclaim his faith.
May you come with joy to his supper to the praise and glory of God.
Amen.”
These blessings are taken from the USCCB Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers – a very useful book to have in your library.
