For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:13-16 NIV)
Lord God of hope, author of life, I thank you for the gift of new life. I am humbled in your almighty presence.
I pray for our soon-to-be new family. For the parents, I pray that they will know more of you each time they look at their son, much like Mary and Joseph must have. And for the child we await, I pray that he will grow strong in body and spirit, safe in your arms.
Today, I will celebrate the joy, hope and mystery of life.
Holy Family, pray for us.
