Prayer of a mother yearning for the birth of her conceived child, while the father urges murder


Lord God Almighty, our Father! You have willed to conceive in me this child, defenseless and small. I beseech You, change the heart of my husband, who fears his child and compels me to commit the grave sin of infanticide. Fill him with love for his offspring and give him to hear the voice of his conscience. Grant him wisdom and courage to obey Your voice in his heart and, above all, to sincerely repent and turn to You.

I ask You, my God, that our healthy child be born and live to Your glory.
Amen

Theotokos, Virgin...
Most Holy Mother of God, by the Lord's power and grace save us.
Most Holy Mother of God, comforter of the weeping, pray to the Creator for us.
Most Holy Mother of God, refuge of sinners, pray to Your Son for us.
Most Holy Mother of God, one, pure and blessed, pray to the Lord for us.
Saint Joseph the Betrothed, patron of families, intercede for us before God.
