“You will conceive in your womb
and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.”
—Luke 1.31
God of love,
you have conceived your love in me.
Within me grows your grace, your glory,
your compassion for the world;
within me stirs your tender beauty.
Mary, come and help me.
Help me trust this miracle.
Let this be my prayer always:
“May it be for me according to your word.”
Mary, come and be my midwife.
Give me courage.
Through the labor, through the pain,
hold my hand.
God, help me deliver your love
into the world.
