The other day, I got on my e-mail and my friend had sent me a link to a website: Spiritual Adoption (click on the link to go to the website)
On this website, it says that Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encouraged people to spiritually adopt an unborn baby to help stop the anit-life push around the world. This is done by praying that one particular unborn child's life be spared from abortion.
Here is the prayer from the website:
“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
When I saw this website, I decided immediately that I wanted to spiritually adopt an unborn child and my boyfriend agree to do it with me.
We chose the name Jonathan because it means "God given" which fits perfectly since every child is a gift from God.
During the spiritual adoption, we are to pray for our spiritual child everyday for the nine months of pregnancy. When this program is done in a school, the participants are given information about their child and about it's development and I decided that I would share Jonathan's story and his development. That is why there is a blog for him. I will post how he is doing and what stages of development he is at each step of the way.
I encourage you to spiritually adopt an unborn child. Together we can end abortion!
