“My heart started beating today!”  During this first amazing month of life, the baby grows to 10,000 times his size at conception.  He is totally dependent upon his mother.  Between mother and child lies the vital organ called the placenta.  Here vessels from mother and baby intertwine without joining, highlighting this newly formed relationship – mutual, nourishing and deeply connected.  By the third week the baby’s tiny heart begins to beat.  Pray that the Lord of Life might move the heart of the baby’s mother to give him the most precious gift of all - - the gift of life.

  
Each month on the weekends of the Teen Masses, our teens will remind us of the blessed gift of life God gives as they display how your child is growing and changing.  Check the community room and bulletin for monthly reminders.  We ask you to remember your Spiritually Adopted baby, and all babies at risk, in your daily prayers throughout the 9 months.   

Please feel free to take a “Teddy Bear” or “Heart” from our poster to bring home as a reminder of your commitment to pray for your baby.  You may want to name your baby and write the name on your heart or bear.

The SPARK TAB Teens thank you for your willingness to share your love, prayers and gifts, so we may grow in our respect of all life from our Heavenly Father, from conception to natural death.
