Daddy's Heart

When I heard the news of you,
I did the things most Daddies do.
I opened up my heart so wide,
For you to have a place inside.

As each day passed, I'd think of you,
I'd watch you grow, I was expecting too!

I tried to imagine the person you'd be
Would you look or act like me?
I thought of the things that we would do,
The times we'd share, just us two.

I would give you piggyback rides,
Push your swing and watch you slide.
I would teach you how to ride a bike,
Catch your first ball and throw your first strike.

I would hold your hand in mine,
Be your protector, strong yet kind.
I would be your hero and friend,
Give love and advice on which you'd depend.

I will always remember the day you were born,
I cradled a miracle, small and warm.
What words I had were scarce and few,
A tear and a smile were the best I could do.

Life gave me a moment, precious and rare,
Bursting with pride, excitement and care.
I promised you then, all that I had,
See, you were my child and I was your Dad.

When I heard the news of you,
I did the things most Daddies do.
I opened my heart so wide,
Where you will always have a place inside.

Spiritual Adoption Pamphlet

Inside this pamphlet is the stages of birth that a baby goes through.

1st Month: Thank you for my spiritual parent who prays for my young life to be saved from abortion. I have begun my journey into this world. Your intercessory prayers will help my mother listen to the Holy Spirit who whispers to her that I am a gift from a loving God. By my 21st day, my heart was beating for Jesus. God has promised that you and I will meet in our eternal life, and a special reward will be given to you who loves me with prayer.

Parish Novena

I ask EVERYONE to spiritually adopt an unborn baby this month. Ever since Roe v. Wade one million babies have been murdered through abortion at ANY time during the nine month pregnancy.

The Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen came up with the idea to help stop anti-life programs. By spiritually adopting a baby we can pray for the unknown child's life to be spared abortion and be allowed to live out a life.

When you spiritually adopt a baby you name him/her as though they were your own. Then you recite the prayer:

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.

On Christmas day you celebrate your baby's birthday in hopes that your child was saved.

Please consider helping the unborn by spiritually adopting one.
