Updated 10/22/2019 First – If you have had a miscarriage, and that is why you have found this post, I am so sorry.  I have had several losses and they are heartbreaking.

Make sure to click over to my post on Emotional Healing After Miscarriage for  ideas on how I managed emotionally after my losses.

If you have found this post because you are pregnant and are fearful of miscarriage, please know that fear is normal, especially if you have had a prior loss or struggled with infertility. The fear will not harm your baby.

Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Also, check out my post with ideas from me on how I managed fear and anxiety in pregnancy after infertility and miscarriage.

I was raised Catholic, and I find great comfort in praying to the Saints. Knowing that there is someone special in heaven praying for me and advocating for me to Jesus is blessing.  It doesn’t mean I can’t pray directly to Jesus . . . it just means I get a little extra special attention from someone who cares about me and my prayers.

Saint Catherine of Sweden, Patron Saint of Protection from Miscarriage

Saint Catherine of Sweden, Patron Saint of Miscarriage and Protection from Miscarriage

St. Catherine of Sweden is a great saint to pray to on your infertility journey, because she is the  patron saint for those who have suffered a miscarriage, and for protection from miscarriage. Her feast day is March 24, and you can pray to her both for healing from miscarriage and for preserving a current pregnancy from miscarriage.

St. Catherine was a Swedish princess who lived in the 1300s and was the daughter of St. Bridget of Sweden.  She was married at age 13, but she and her husband both took mutual vows of perpetual chastity.  Her husband died, and she followed her mother around Europe doing Christ’s work.

During that time she worked with the poor and taught them life skills and Christianity.  As her mother did, she counseled women who had suffered a miscarriage or illness during their pregnancy.  

It is said that as a beautiful princess widow she was pursued by many suitors- but refused them all.

During her life she was said to perform actual Resurrection miracles. For example, a man working for her fell off her coach and was run over by the wheels and died. Catherine touched him and he came back to life.  

Another story is when a workman fell from the roof of a house and was dead and his body twisted. Catherine touched him and he came back to life healthy, and unbroken.

There are prayers to her for both avoiding miscarriages, and for healing after a miscarriage. Both are shared below.

How to work with St. Catherine of Sweden for Avoiding Miscarriage or Healing from Miscarriage

I like to imagine the Princess Catherine with her mother caring for the poor women of Europe. Maybe when a woman had a miscarriage she made her bone broth or another nourishing soup. Maybe she sat with them and talked about God’s promises. Either way, I hope you find a way to work with her to bring you comfort!

 

  • Pray with her. Use the traditional prayers below or use your own prayers. Ask her to intercede on your behalf to Jesus. If you are nervous to pray your own words, check out my post on Asking God for a Miracle.
  • Carry her prayer card with you.
  • Think of her consoling the poor women of Europe after their miscarriages, and know if you have had a loss, that she is consoling you and sending you healing love from Heaven.
  • Wear a medal in her honor. Everytime you touch it, see it, or think of it, say a prayer to her! Get yourself a nice one if you feel very connected to her.
  • Tell people about her. Share her story. There is a special grace given when you tell others about Saints that are special to you.
  • Celebrate her feast day- March 24th- with prayer and meditation.
  • Consider volunteering- give of yourself, just as St. Catherine gave of herself.

If you have experienced a miscarriage, there is a sweet and simple prayer to St. Catherine of Sweden asking for healing and consolation.

Traditional Prayers to St. Catherine of Sweden

Prayer to St. Catherine of Sweden for Healing and Consolation after Miscarriage

Dear Saint Catherine, patron of those who have suffered a miscarriage, you know the dangers that await unborn infants.
Please intercede for me that I may receive healing from the loss I have suffered.
My soul has been deprived of peace and I have forgotten what true happiness is.
As I mourn the loss of my child, I place myself in the hands of God and ask for strength to accept His will in all things, for consolation in my grief, and for peace in my sorrow.
Glorious Saint Catherine, hear my prayers and ask that God, in good time, grant me a healthy baby who will become a true child of God.
Amen.

Prayer to St. Catherine of Sweden for a Healthy Pregnancy and for Avoiding Miscarriage

Dear Saint Catherine, you know the temptations of mothers today as well as the dangers that await unborn infants.
Intercede for me that I may avoid miscarriage and bring forth a healthy baby who will become a true child of God.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for the gift of all human life.
I am most especially grateful for the new life within my womb – the unborn child forming deep within me.
Through the prayers of Mary, Mother of Jesus, and the intercession of Saint Catherine of Sweden, I beg You to watch over and protect this little one inside my womb.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

    Please pray for my friend who, after many years of infertility, and beating cancer, became pregnant. She soon found out she was carrying twins only to lose one today.
    Please pray for peace and comfort in their loss and for protection of her unborn baby.

    I have suffered a miscarriage. There are no words of the immense hurt I feel. My life is falling apart. My relationship is falling apart. I pray that that God has a purpose for me. I pray he can give me a family that I always wanted. Praying for CS in heaven, may your dad and I find one another and heal our relationship.

    I pray for healing both physical and mentally as I continue to mourn the loss of what was mi miracle baby at 32weeks gestation this past June. I think of how she would be now and all the milestones she would’ve accomplished. May God and our Mother grant be the possibility to one day have a child.
