A friend of mine just announced that her daughter had a new child by c-section. The child is a little underweight and a little pre-mature, but seems to be doing well. I just ask that each of you join me in prayer for this new child and that her family will realize the blessing and duty they have been given in their vocation as parents.
Father in Heaven, creator of the universe, we humbly thank and praise you for this blessing in the lives of this family. Through your divine providence and sacramental graces you have deemed fit to allow us mere creatures to share in the glorious creation of life, in emulation of that creation you yourself oversaw at the dawn of humanity. We humbly place this child in your hands, and ask that you lead, guide and sanctify this child to your will, and that the parents, family, friends and influences of this child be ever mindful of their responsibility to help this wonderful blessing, this child, this being made in your image be treated with that dignity and respect. God we ask for health, long life, and many blessings, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
