Lord Jesus,
on this holy day of Your birth,
we remember the miracle of new life
born in humility, hope, and love.

As You were welcomed into the world
by Mary’s open heart and faithful trust,
we ask You to look kindly upon us today.

Bless our longing to welcome a child.
Prepare my body, my heart, and my home
to receive the gift You choose to give,
in Your perfect time and wisdom.

If it is Your will, Lord,
grant us the grace of conception,
a healthy beginning,
and a life formed under Your loving hand.

If the waiting must continue,
give me peace instead of fear,
hope instead of doubt,
and trust instead of sorrow.

May this Christmas be marked
not only by lights and celebration,
but by quiet faith, renewed strength,
and the promise that nothing is impossible with You.

Mary, Mother of Hope, pray for us.
Saint Joseph, protector of families, pray for us.
Holy Child of Bethlehem,
place Your blessing upon us today.

Amen. ✨
