ContactSpiritual Adoption 2023
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Intercessor of the Unborn
To help stop the anti-life push in the world 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.
To help accomplish this, it is recommended that an individual say the following daily prayer for a period of nine months.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
The name I wish to give my baby is ____________________. 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 souls your prayers saved and spend eternal happiness with them.
Jesus, may your peace and your love embrace the hearts, minds and souls of the family, friends and loved ones who encourage this abortion and lead them all to your sacred and Eucharistic heart."

Lenten Pro-Life Prayer
Father of all mercy,
We thank you for this season of grace and light.
We know that sin has blinded us.
Draw us ever closer to you, in prayer and penance.
Since you, O God, are light itself,
Give all your people a clearer understanding
of what is sin, and what is virtue.
Grant in particular that we may see, as never before,
the profound dignity of every human life,
including the vulnerable unborn children.
Give us grace to defend
our brothers and sisters in the womb
by our prayers, our words,
and our self-sacrificing actions.
As we prepare to renew the promises
of our own baptism this Easter,
grant that we may live more faithfully as
the children of God and the People of Life.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Meet Baby Olivia
Baby Olivia was created by Live Action to show audiences the spectacular life of a baby growing in her mother's womb. She has been reviewed and deemed scientifically accurate by accredited OBGYNs. The images depict the moment of conception through a term pregnancy to show the humanity of the preborn child throughout each stage of human development.
