Prayer For Mothers

Father in Heaven, we thank you for the gift of life.

Grant that all mothers who give birth may welcome their babies with love.

But if some mothers feel they are unable to raise their babies, grant that they may be compassionate toward the life which You have given and not destroy it before birth.

To those children who have been wantonly deprived of earthly life grant whatever happiness to which they are entitled, and to the mothers who have denied them life in this world, grant Your merciful grace of repentance and reconciliation with our Savior so that they may obtain eternal life in the next!

With ecclesiastical approval

Most Rev. Romeo R. Blanchette, D.D.
