Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, in you we adore the eternal origin of all life. Born of the Father before all time, you were born of the Virgin Mary in time. In your humanity and person you sanctified motherhood from the first instant of conception through all stages, for our salvation. Recall all people to these divine blessings, to appreciate the unborn as persons and to enlighten every human being coming into this world. In your mercy avert your just anger from the enemies of life, to allow God's infants to give Him glory and to be crowned with the heavenly life of grace. From the cross you called, "Behold your Mother.'
Amen.
