Prayer of a Mother Who Is Carrying a Child

I glorify You, Heavenly Father, God the Creator, for You have wrought great things in me and a child will be born of me—a fruit of love which You have blessed. Jesus, Son of God, Who has allowed me to worship the little one in the manger, I offer to You my child, Your brother (sister). Endow him (her) with wondrous natural gifts and grace. May he (she) be our joy on earth, and in eternity Your glory. Holy Spirit, cover me with Your shadow throughout these months of waiting, that no evil may befall my little child and that his (her) soul may be ready to become Your sanctified one in the holy Sacrament of Baptism and true conversion and entry into the communion of the Church of Christ. And you, Mary, Queen of Mothers, by the Lord’s power and grace help me, I pray, at the time of my child's birth. I receive, beginning now, all patience that may come, and I ask You to offer it to God for the sake of my child. My holy guardian angel and the holy guardian angel of my child, according to God's good will, guard and keep us both.
