Prayer for Expectant Mothers #3

All loving God,

you created the human family

as a reflection of your own divine life

so that your creation might share in your happiness.

Hear our prayer for your daughter

who awaits the birth of her child.

She has cooperated with you in giving life.

Assist her now as she prepares to give birth

to the child in her womb.

May Mary be her guide and support,

calming her fears and strengthening her love.

May your daughter be filled with your peace and blessing

so that she may bring her child into this world

safely and in good health to the praise and

glory of your name.

Amen.
