Almighty God, we give you humble thanks for graciously preserving, through the pain and peril of childbirth, your servant N., who now desires to offer her praises and thanksgivings to you. Grant, we ask you, most merciful Father, that she, with your help, may faithfully live according to your will in this life, and may also partake in the everlasting glory of the life to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
