the True Cross

...What is Spiritual Adoption?

• It is a prayer for the child in the womb who is threatened by abortion.

• It is a prayer of healing for those suffering because of abortion.

• It is a prayer of consolation for those

sorrowing because of a miscarriage.

• It is a movement of life and fruitfulness inspired by the Holy Spirit.

A joyful commitment:

Everyday of these nine months I will say:

• One decade of the Rosary for this child

• The special daily prayer

• My own personal undertaking…
