O Lord Jesus Christ, once you embraced the little children and said, “Let the little children come unto me.” Look with favour on the innocent children in our communities, those who are victims of parental neglect, those martyred through domestic abuse and violence, those who suffer the effects of inequality and poverty, and bless them today. Stir our hearts O God, and those of their parents, caregivers, and those in authority, that together, we will create more safe spaces for these, the least in your Kingdom.
