Prayer at Six Months

God of love,
"Christopher" has undergone
some amazing changes in his short life.
From being microscopic at birth
he is now fourteen inches long.
He moves now, and is strong enough
to dent the uterine wall with his kicks.
He has begun to develop sleep patterns.
He has oil and sweat glands that function
and help to regulate his temperature.
He responds to sound, and his lungs 
are so well developed that if he were born now
he would stand a good chance of survival.
It is an awesome responsibility 
that you give to women.  "Christopher" 's
best chance of survival right now
is a mother who will love him
no matter the cost to herself.
Grant her the grace to be able
to fulfill that responsibility.
