A while back, I received a flyer from hearts4life.org with the following prayer recommended by Archbishop Fulton Sheen to be said every day for a period of one year to spare the life of a baby in danger of abortion:
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.
I liked the prayer and added it to my morning prayers. Recently, however, I was reading Surrender All: an Illuminated Journal Retreat through the Stations of the Cross by Jen Norton (a lovely book, by the way) and came across this longer version of the prayer which I like even more because it includes a prayer for the mother:
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to come to the assistance of the vulnerable pregnant woman who feels alone today. Help her and give her the hope she needs to spare the life of her child, the unborn baby who is in danger of abortion. By your Spirit, speak hope to their hearts today. Amen.
