Colette, our baby girl, was baptized a few weeks ago. In preparation for such an important event I tried to find a 'standard' Catholic prayer for infant baptism that Nick & I could pray in the week leading up to her receiving the sacrament. I Googled every possibility and came up short, so based on all the wording my search did reveal, I came up with my own prayer. I thought I'd share for anyone else who may want to do the same.
Most Holy Trinity, we ask that at his/her Baptism, You free (name) from the power of darkness and bring him/her into the realm of freedom that You offer Your children through sanctifying grace. As You have entrusted this precious child to us as his/her parents, never cease from guiding us as his/her nurtures and teachers of the faith of Your Church. We love You and give You unending thanks and praise for the wonderful gift of our son/daughter. Amen.
God Bless You,
Becca
