To help stop the anti-life push in the U.S.A. the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
encouraged the spiritual adoption of an unborn child. This is done by praying that
one particular but unknown child's life be spared abortion and be allowed to
continue to live.
During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only
to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet the child whose life
was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with them.
To help accomplish this, it was recommended an individual
say the following daily prayer for a period of one year:
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby
that I have spiritualy adopted who is in danger of abortion.
