Question:
Answer:
Certainly. A child typically has a patron saint because of his first and middle names, so parents can start there. However, if parents want to ask another saint to regularly intercede for their child for some reason, all the better.
Parents should teach their children the Guardian Angel prayer at an early age, and the parents themselves should ask the child’s guardian angel to look out for their child. Further, the parents should encourage their children to invoke the aid of their patron saints regularly. They’re great gifts from Jesus who collaborate with the Good Lord. If a child doesn’t have a patron saint by virtue of his first or middle name, work with the child to adopt one or two, based on his interests and lifetime aspirations, for example.
