Parent’s Prayer at the Loss of a Child
Loving Father, the pain of losing a child must be one of the worst sufferings on Earth. You know my pain and my grief. Receive my daughter/son into your arms and heart to be forever with you in paradise where there is no sorrow, weeping or pain, but only the fullness of peace and joy.
If my child came to you with any stain of sin on her/his soul, purify these as quickly as possible through the merits of your own dearly beloved Son. Do not let my child be separated from you, and once she/he is in your embrace, hold and caress her/him for me. When I leave this world, may my daughter/son greet and welcome me into eternal life. Amen.
