You can use these works as they are or adapt them to suit your needs and taste for your Mother Blessing convocation or closing. They can also be used for a baby shower, for meditations when preparing for labor, or things to focus on during labor. If you wish to have your guests recite a verse together, you may want to print a couple copies the verse for them to refer to. Please do not feel limited to the passages here; you can also draw prayers and poetry from your own religion or create one centered on nature.
