A prayer for our baby...

St. Gerald, patron of expectant mothers,
Pray for this unborn child that he may be healthy upon his birth and throughout his life.
As my child grows, may he feel my love for him more each day and may his tiny body be nourished properly.
Obtain for us the grace to stay close to God and to follow His will as you did.
St. Gerald, mothers are often asked to do two or more tasks at the same time.
Ask God to bless this child with a patient mother who gives of herself more than she feels she actually has to give; a mother filled with the wisdom and the courage to persevere.
May this unborn child be raised in strong faith and conviction so that he may someday spend eternal life in heaven.
Amen
