 To Nurse a Child Holy Mary, you remember devoutly how as a young mother you pressed the divine Jesus tenderly to your breast. You were not then denied that precious privilege of motherhood, to nourish the life you had brought into this world. Dear Mother of Mothers, I beg you to speak to God with me now to obtain the privilege that I may so nourish the child to whom I shall soon give birth. May I know this fulness of the office of holy motherhood. And ask with me, too, holy Mother, that, in the fulfillment of this blessed office which God has so beautifully ordained, I shall be closely drawn to my child with the tenderest mother love and that by this bond of affection I shall likewise be better able to nourish the soul of my little one with the holy truths of faith, so that my child may serve its Creator with a strong body and an upright mind in fidelity and love. Mother of Mothers, Pray for Me! catholicprayerbook.net - catholicprayerbook.net Page Background by: Cottontail Graphics |
