Prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God in honor of her icon 'The Obedient' (for a child to be born healthy)

Most Blessed Lady, Ever‑Virgin Mother of God, who bore the Word of God before any other word for our salvation and received His grace of divine gifts and miracles; ever‑flowing river, who by the power and love of the Lord bestows grace upon all who, with faith, run to God through you! Approaching the holy image of Christ and yours, we pray to the Almighty Lord God through you, the bountiful Mother of the Man‑loving Master: that He may favor us with His abundant mercy and grant our petitions, which we bring to you, O Obedient One, as quickly as possible for the benefit, consolation and salvation of each.

We pray that, by your intercession, O Most Blessed, God may manifest His grace upon your children. May He grant healing and perfect health to the sick—directly from the Lord’s heavens; to those who are anxious, His divine peace; to the captives, Christ’s freedom; to the suffering, the consolation of the Holy Spirit. By the will and goodness of God and His omnipotence and wisdom, may the All‑Merciful Lady protect every city and country from famine, disease, earthquakes, fire, sword, and other calamities. May she also deliver us from spiritual weakness, temptations, and the sins of the servants and children of the Lord and yours. That we, overcoming temptations and living piously in this age, may in the future obtain the eternal blessings of grace and the man‑loving Son of yours and God, to whom all glory, honor, and worship belong together with your and our Father and with the most holy, good, and life‑giving Holy Spirit, now, always, and forever. Amen.
