Spiritual Adoption:  late October - two months
   

The baby is making rapid progress developing all her external and internal organs. During the second month baby teeth form and her fingers and toes are developing. Ears, nose, lips and tongue can now be clearly seen. Even her brain waves can now be recorded. The skeleton changes from cartilage to bone. The central nervous system is now functioning and so forty muscle sets begin their first exercises. By 8 weeks all body systems are present and the baby is called a “fetus”, a Latin word meaning “little one” or “young one”. Ultrasound reveals that this little one can now spring and jump – her first dance steps! 

   Please continue to pray every day for your  spiritually adopted child, 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.
