Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.

In case of request, the pattern for converting direct speech to reported speech is verb + object.

The indirect object is the person spoken to. Verbs in case of request can be ask, wish, etc. 'May' is changed to might.

Thus, the sentence would be - My mother wished that Heaven might bless him.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
