Virgin of Childbirth
Basilica S. Augustine--Rome
Prayer
Holy Mother of God, Virgin of Childbirth, we
come to you to sing your praise. You are the
beloved daughter of the Father, the Mother of the
Word Incarnate, the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
You are the Virgin of God chosen from eternity to realize
our salvation: ask your Son Jesus to grant us a
strong faith, a solid hope, and a generous charity.
Virgin Mother, we put under your care all the
mothers who pray for the integrity of their children
and for a successful birth, so that the life in their womb
may be preserved from all dangers.
Grant them to come back to you with their child
to give thanks to the Lord who works wonders
for those who hopefully trust in Him.
Virgin of Childbirth, protect all children with
your love, so that, cleansed from sin by baptism
and received in the Holy Mother Church, they
may serenely grow up, full of virtues, in order to
become courageous witnesses of your Son Jesus,
and may persist on the path of sanctity, with the
favor of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Ave Maria...
Virgin of Childbirth, pray for us!
Festivity: 2nd Sunday of October
