Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

Lord Jesus, You saw in the innocence of children
the attributes which make us worthy of heaven -
trust, joy, humility, obedience and faithfulness.
Bless all the children who are awaiting adoption.
They seek love - may they find it in loving parents.
They seek stability - may they find a home rooted in faith.
They seek acceptance - may their gifts be
recognized and nurtured.
And may they always know your steadfast love for them
and the true joy of loving you.

Amen.

Petition to St. Joseph

Blessed St. Joseph,
You welcomed the Christ Child into your home,
provided for his daily needs,
and helped him to grow in wisdom, age and grace.
Hear the prayers of all children
who are awaiting a loving home,
and intercede for them
before your adopted Son and Savior,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
St. Joseph, Guardian and Protector,
Pray for us.
