The Fertility Blessing

Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
Washington DC      May 2014

You know my deep desire for a child

A little one to love and to hold, to care for,

to cherish. Grant that my body may conceive

and give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby in

Your holy image. 

Guide me in all my choices so that this

conception, my pregnancy and my baby's birth

are in line with Your will.

Heavenly Father and Holy Mother,

hear this prayer of my heart, mind and spirit.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
