Rite for the Blessing of a Child

This bilingual rite booklet provides the rite for the blessing within Mass or outside Mass. The effects of the rite are many: there is recognition that all life is a gift from God; it sustains parents by imparting grace and comfort in time of concern and need; unites the parish in prayer for the unborn child; and fosters respect for the sanctity of human life from the first moment of conception. 48 pages. Size 6″ x 9″, green paperback. Author is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
