Spiritual Adoption:  August  
     
A mother’s womb has become a dangerous place. EVERY DAY about 3000 American children are deliberately killed within the womb, and only God knows how many are conceived but not allowed to implant in the womb because of artificial contraception and the “morning after” pill. There is a child, known only to God, who has just been conceived.  This child is in danger of losing his or her life to abortion. His mom probably wants to follow her maternal instincts to nurture her child, but may be under pressure from circumstances, parents, boyfriend or husband.

   Will you spiritually adopt this child and pray every day for nine months that his or her life will be spared, that his or her mother will find the support she needs to choose life and plan for a safe and happy home for her child?  

You are encouraged to choose a name for the child you are praying for.  Please pray the following prayer each day:     

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

Beginning with conception in late August, monthly updates on the child's development will be posted here, and printed in the bulletin.
