TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

MONTH 6

I’m 6 months old now. I just opened my eyes - Be-fore today they were sealed shut for protec-tion. I wonder what you look like. I can hear sounds too! It’s great to have someone praying for me.

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM

A Reminder

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spirit-ually adopted who is in dan-ger of abortion. Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritually Adopted Baby and the baby’s mother and father. 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.
