O Dionysos, gracious Lord of life and renewal,
watch over the children that have been entrusted to us.
Guard them from harm, shelter them from cruelty,
and guide them safely through the days of their youth.
O Dionysos Karpokrates, grant our children
health of body, clarity of mind, and joy of spirit.
May they grow in wisdom, kindness, and courage,
surrounded by those who cherish and protect them.
O Dionysos Dikerōs, drive away fear, misfortune,
and all influences that would diminish their flourishing.
Let laughter fill our homes, protection accompany their steps,
and hope brighten their future.
O Dionysos Propatros, bless all parents,
guardians, teachers, and caregivers
with patience, strength, and loving hearts,
that they may faithfully nurture those in their care.
O Dionysos Zōzō, protector of life’s sacred vitality,
keep our children under your favor
and bring them safely into a flourishing adulthood.
Hail, Dionysos, and may your blessing be always upon them.
