National pro-life groups continue this week to follow the development of “Baby Chris” (see www.BabyChris.org), now 26 weeks old. This project enables people to learn about – and see – the development that every human being undergoes in these first nine months of life.

Developmental facts and striking images and video are provided each week, along with a prayer and social media tools.

Prayers

Prayer is the foundation of all we do in the pro-life movement.


Blessed are those who weep!

Lord, your Word speaks often of the shedding of tears.
The child whose development we are following can produce tears now,
And will do so throughout life.
As for all of us,
These children will shed tears of joy as they experience Your love and the love of others
And as they accomplish their goals in life.
They will shed tears of sorrow
As they realize, through the experience of change and loss,
That only You are eternal.
Grant all of us, Lord, through the tears of life,
To discover more profoundly our dependence upon You,
And to learn more fully how secure is the hope
That we have in Jesus Christ,
Who alone is Lord forever and ever. Amen.
