O Lord, father and mother of all children, watch over your little ones who are poor and abandoned. They cry, for they hunger for food, for the cold chills their bones, for their bodies suffer with disease, for they never know the tenderness of love. Lord, grant that these little ones come to you! Warm their tender hearts, gather them under your wings, that they may feel the care of your heart and ever enjoy your kindness as your children.
