Prayer when Expecting a Child:

”Heavenly Father, we thank you for your marvelous gift; you have allowed us to share in your divine parenthood. During this time of waiting, we ask you to protect and nurture these first mysterious strings of life.
May our child come safely into the light of the world and to the new birth of baptism.
Motter Of God, we entrust our child to your loving heart. Amen.”
