Almighty God, Creator of everything visible and invisible!

And although it was in Your will to create us immediately, like the Angels, if only you wanted, but Your wisdom was pleased that through a husband and wife, in Your established order of marriage, the human race multiplied; You wanted to bless people so that they would grow and multiply and fill not only the earth, but also the angelic hosts.
O God and Father, may Your name be forever glorified and glorified for all that You have done for us!
I also thank You for Your mercy, that not only did I, by Your will, come from Your wonderful creation and replenish the number of the elect, but that You honored me to bless in marriage and sent me the fruit of the womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Lord and Father of spirit and body! Therefore, I turn to You alone and pray to You with a humble heart for mercy and help, so that what You do in me by Your power will be preserved and brought to a prosperous birth. For I know, O God, that it is not in the power and power of man to choose our own path: we are too weak and prone to fall to bypass all those networks that the evil spirit sets up for us at Your will, and avoid those misfortunes, in which our frivolity plunges us into. Your wisdom is limitless. Whom You will, You will save unscathed through Your Angel from every misfortune.
Therefore, I, merciful Father, commit myself in my sorrow into Your hands and pray that You look at me with an eye of mercy and save me from all suffering. Send me and my dear husband joy, O God, Lord of all joy, so that we, at the sight of Your blessing, worship You with all our hearts and serve with a joyful spirit. I do not want to be excluded from what You imposed on our entire race, commanding to give birth to children in illnesses. But I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send happy outcome. And if You hear this prayer of ours and send us a healthy good child, then we vow to bring him back to You and consecrate him to You so that You remain for us and our seed a merciful God and Father, as we vow to always be Your faithful servants together with our child .
Hear, Merciful God, the prayer of Your last servant, fulfill the prayer of our heart for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who became incarnate for us, now abides with You and the Holy Spirit and rules in eternity. Amen.
