Please join national pro-life groups in tracing the development of the unborn child. “Baby Chris” has now reached 18 weeks of life since fertilization.

The baby’s heart has beat nearly 24 million times! And as has been the case for months now, anyone seeing the video of this developing baby is going to immediately recognize his or her humanity.

For developmental facts, images and video, as well as prayers and social media posts, go to www.BabyChris.org.

One Continuous Journey

Lord, as we learn about life in the womb,
We realize that all of us have been on one continuous journey since fertilization.
The person outside the womb is the same person who was inside the womb.
And just as we need time and nourishment to grow after we are born,
So we need time and nourishment to grow before we are born.
We are each the same person we were before birth, and you are the same God,
Breathing life into us at every instant
And fulfilling in our lives the plan you have had for us
From before the world was made.
Continue to guide the journey of life that each of us is making,
And bless especially those at the earliest part of this journey,
Our unborn brothers and sisters.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
