Spiritual Adoption 2022/23

Prayer for the Unborn

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

Say this prayer every day for
nine months to save a baby’s life!

Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

What is the Spiritual Adoption Program?

It is a program where you agree to pray for a baby who is in danger of abortion for nine months.

Will I know who the baby is?

No. This is a spiritual adoption. You agree to pray for a baby and mother, and God lines you up with a baby. Only God knows who you are praying for. It helps to give your baby a name to make it more personal.

Who can participate?

Anyone who is interested – an individual, a couple, a school or class, parish groups etc.

What do I pray?

Use the prayer written by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.
