June 11, 2017 The Most Holy Trinity Summer Time Prayer Long warm days… The pace of life slows.. A time for picnics and rest in the shade. Lord, help me to rest awhile in the cooling shade of your presence. Slow down my restless heart and fill me with gentle compassion for all your people. Amen. MONTH 4 – Developing Baby Spiritual Adoption Program Well, your little baby now weighs six ounces. He/she has fingernails and eyelashes. He/she has his/her own unique fingerprints, which will remain the same his/her whole life. His/her taste buds are working. His/her sense of hearing is developing and present at 14 weeks. There are no major developments anymore. Your spiritually adopted baby is already well-formed, internally and externally. All he/she needs now is time to gain weight and grow strong. What a miracle he/she is!! Please Pray 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.
