Friends Are Expecting Bundle Of Joy!

[OnlySunshine]

I just got a thank you card today in the mail from my friend who got married in February. He and his wife are expecting their first born -- a baby girl -- in November!!! Please pray for them both. I know he is going to be an excellent father because he models himself after St. Joseph and she has been in religious life for 5 years and is very sweet. I am so excited for them! Now I need to send them a card congratulating them on their expectant child!

[b][b][b][b][b]All loving God,
you created the human family
as a reflection of your own divine life
so that your creation might share in your happiness.

Hear our prayer for your daughter
who awaits the birth of her child.
She has cooperated with you in giving life.
Assist her now as she prepares to give birth
to the child in her womb.
May Mary be her guide and support,
calming her fears and strengthening her love.

May your daughter be filled with your peace and blessing
so that she may bring her child into this world
safely and in good health to the praise and
glory of your name.

Amen.[/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]
