During the month of October, we hold in prayer the families who carry both grief and love in their hearts due to pregnancy and infant loss. During this time of remembrance, may we not forget that every child is cherished, and no family walks through loss alone.
Hope of those who call to You:
You fill what is empty and make abundant what is scarce. We pray, Oh God, that You hold close all those who carry grief and love due to pregnancy and infant loss.
Receive Your precious children into fullness of life and joy that can only be found with You. Let all who grieve find consolation in knowing that they are safely surrounded by Your mercy, care and everlasting love.
Comfort those parents, siblings, grandparents and loved ones whose arms ache to hold the child they miss. Grant your peace where there is heartbreak, courage where there is fear, and hope where there is despair.
Teach us to listen with gentleness, to support one another with grace, and to create space for remembrance, healing, and hope. May the memory of these littlest ones be a blessing, and their lives, no matter how brief, a sacred gift.
