O blessed wife and mother,
extraordinary in ordinary devotion
to your family and God,
you who freely gave your life
that your child might live,
who put the fruit of your womb
before your personal concern –
in this age when so many mothers
in freedom
and seemingly without care
are more inclined to destroy
the life in their wombs
than nourish it
or sacrifice themselves
for their children’s sakes,
pray that these same may turn
to the love you have shown
and find the call of the Lord
upon their souls
in the heart beating
innocently and plaintively
within them.
Pray this holocaust shall be ended.
