Spiritual Adoption

Every day 4000 US children are murdered because of a horror we call "abortion". Every day 4000 unborn children are subject to excruciating pain before their death. Every day the lives of 4000 babies are cut short. These babies will never breathe their own air, snuggle with their dads, play with their friends and siblings, see the sun, or unleash their hidden potential. These opportunities are snatched from them. We wonder how we can save these children.

After Roe vs. Wade 30 years ago, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen introduced the concept of "spiritual adoption". For nine months you pray specifically for one of these unborn children. Although we do not know who our child is, God does, and perhaps one day, in Heaven, we will be able to meet this child.

Everyday 4000 of God's sons and daughters are murdered. Prayer does make a difference. If you could save even 1 of these children, wouldn't you?

There are programs everywhere for religious education classes, parishes, youth groups, pregnancy centers, and everything in between. These programs send monthly updates to the spiritual parents about how their spiritual baby is growing, normally written from the baby's perspective. You can even name your spiritual child.

The only requirement for spiritual adoption is that you pray. Pray for the safety of the baby and the baby's parents and family.

This opportunity was made known to me about 2 years ago. It has popped up multiple times since then. Today, I am making the decision to help one of these 4000 children. Her name is Rosemary Claire. Over the next nine months you will be updated on her progress. Be prepared.

“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.”
- Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

And did you know that today is the feast day of St. Clare of Assisi? As she said, "Totally love Him, Who gave Himself totally for your love." What better way to show my love for Him than to attach myself to one of His most precious daughters?
