Spiritual Adoption – Monthly Highlight

Spiritual Adoption – Monthly Highlight

Our parish spiritually adopted babies who were in danger of abortion in March. After three months from conception our babies are now three inches long.

The baby now sleeps and awakens. Fingernails and toenails form and he now has his own unique set of fingerprints. Sensitive to touch, he will tightly grasp an object placed in the palm of his hand. He breathes amniotic fluid to help develop and strengthen the respiratory system, but he gets the oxygen he needs through the umbilical cord. He can now squint, swallow and move his tongue. In fact, early this month – around week 9 – he began to suck his thumb.

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”

Pray this prayer daily through December 25.
