Prayers for a New Baby: Catholic Prayer Booklet for New Parents (Printable PDF)
Welcome your little one with the prayers Catholic families have prayed for generations. This printable booklet (20 pages, US Letter) has a prayer of thanksgiving for a new baby, the Magnificat and the Canticle of Simeon, a simple nightly blessing parents can give their child, the Church's old blessing for a mother after childbirth, the promises of Baptism with the Apostles' Creed, prayers to the Holy Family, write-in pages where mother, father, godparents and grandparents can add their own prayers for the baby, and a keepsake page to record your baby's birth and Baptism.
It's printed in a classic red-and-gold missal style with illuminated first letters and public-domain paintings by Georges de La Tour, Murillo, Lorenzetti, Honthorst and Raphael. It makes a lovely gift for new parents, godparents and grandparents.
