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."
