Pro-Life Prayers

Spiritual Adoption of an Unborn Child

To counter the propaganda for abortion, Msgr Fulton J. Sheen recommended the spiritual adoption of unborn babies.  This was to be done by praying that these little ones be spared abortion, and continue to live after birth.  During your earthly life, this child which you have adopted will be known only to God, but in the hereafter, you will enjoy each other’s company for all eternity. 

The following prayer, said every day for one whole year, was recommended: 

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I love you very much; I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child that I have spiritually adopted, and which is in danger of being aborted.  Amen.

Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty, and fashion human lives in your image and likeness.  Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life.  Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
