IN PREPARATION FOR
MOTHERHOOD AND FOR YOUNG MOTHERHOOD
PRAYER IN THANKSGIVING
FOR CONCEPTION
I rejoice in my
conception, Lord, and I give thanks that the father of my little one and I have
been chosen to share in the work of Your love. In Your great and tender wisdom,
You do not wish to multiply the human family by Your power alone. You allow us,
Your humble creatures, to share in Your creative might. The soul of our tiny
baby will be Your work alone; our baby’s body will be Your work and ours, too,
for we are the father and mother.
But, soul and body, this
little one will be our companion forever as well as Yours. May this child ever
remind us that You and we have worked lovingly side by side.
How can I ever return
sufficient thanks for this great honour? I offer humbly my homage and heartfelt
devotion.
