From Your Phone to Your Fridge: This little prayer can make a big difference

This post contains affiliate links.  Please see my About Me page for more details.

A few years ago our family hung a prayer up on our refrigerator as a reminder to pray it each night before dinner (after Grace Before Meals).

That prayer saved the life of an unborn child.

If you have never had the chance to read the story, here it is: God Hears Us: A Spiritual Adoption Miracle.

It is still making me say wow a few years later.

This is the prayer we hung on our “fridge” that allowed us to witness a miracle.

You can get a copy of this prayer for free when you subscribe to prayerwinechocolate.com

Once we experienced that first miracle, we continued to pray the Spiritual Adoption prayer almost every single night before dinner.  Once 9 months go by, we start again. We choose another name and continue to pray for an unborn child.  One time we decided to pray for twins – we chose a girl’s name and a boy’s name.  During the 7th month of praying for those twins we received a call – a woman was in labor.  She was having twins and wanted to place them with an adoptive family.

She ended up delivering a boy and a girl.

Those two little loves our now our son and daughter.

If you want to read more about that miracle – check out this article: Our Lady of Guadalupe: Her Image Still Appears.

We are currently praying for a little boy named Dave.  My husband chose that name because apparently the name I picked for our last spiritual adoption, Darius Anthony, was too long (haha).  The Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways.  We choose the name, but it is definitely led by the Holy Spirit.

I once posted about this prayer on Facebook and others chimed in to share how they once prayed it or used to pray it with their family.  I remember one woman said she would let her children pick the names and they would often pick very unusual names, like Cloud.  Then, another woman replied to that comment, “I taught a Cloud!!”.

You just never know . . .

It is my hope that every Catholic in America hang this prayer on their fridge and say it every night – or day.  It only takes about 20 seconds to pray.  It is a beautiful act of faith.

It’s also an opportunity . . .

An opportunity to share

how your family prays,

what your family prays and

why your family prays – if anyone were to visit your home, see the prayer and ask about it.

We look at our refrigerators every day.

We also look at our phones every day.  We take them with us everywhere.

It’s easy to forget things.  It’s certainly easy to forget to pray.  I mean, I can’t tell you how many times I started a novena and had to start it all over again because I forgot to pray it one day.

Since I know we are all busy, I had to share this wonderful product made by Lindsay, owner of Just Love Prints.

 

 

Lindsay, like myself, feels compelled to share this prayer and encourage others to pray it. In fact, Lindsay feels so strongly about this prayer that she has started a whole new platform called Formed and Favored.  Lindsay has created a line within her Just Love Prints shop that she dedicates to the unborn in danger of abortion.  Check out those products here: The Formed and Favored Collection

I can’t tell you how many times a day I look at my phone.  I can tell you it is probably more than I should.

This phone wallpaper created by Just Love Prints is such a simple beautiful purchase and such a powerful way to show love to the unborn.

What if we all put this prayer on our phone and on our fridge?

I think most people consider themselves “pro-life”.  This action of displaying this prayer on your phone and refrigerator is an act of love, a way to remind us to pray and an act of evangelization.

This is a small act, but according to Mother Teresa:

There are no great acts, only small acts done with great love.”

I believe we all want to love.

Let’s call upon our friends and family to put this prayer on their phones and fridge – and then let’s sit back and watch the miracles.

If you think this is a great idea – do these three things:

  1. Get your free Spiritual Adoption Print by clicking here and subscribing to prayerwinechocolate.com
  2. Purchase the phone wall paper here: Spiritual Adoption Phone Wallpaper from JustLovePrints
  3. Share this post and call your friends to act!  Simply hit share below and say “join me”!!!
Get this chunky knit blanket from Etsy!

And before you go, I’d love to invite you to “Not give up wine for Lent!!!”

I’m not giving up wine for Lent – I’m doing something more meaningful.  I’d love for you to join me, because honestly I need the support and I’d love to provide some support too!

Let’s make this the most meaningful Lent ever – and do so by “not giving up wine’!!!!

Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and services are definitely not ideal… at least there weren’t for our family.

I once read or heard another mom suggest washing your children’s feet on Holy Thursday… she I tried it and my kids absolutely LOVED it!

In fact, they would ask to wash my feet!

Last year I took my 3 children (8 year old twins and 12 year old) to a Shrine as a sort of modified 7 churches visit.
It was like a holy adventure!

I had planned on taking them to 2 more churches but we stayed at the first place for awhile so we kept it to that one visit.

Holy Week offers many opportunities and invites much silence and contemplation, but young children make what is do-able different.

We want our children to see and understand God’s great love for us. I feel like these activities communicate that- at least partially.

Do you have suggestions for Good Friday or Holy Saturday?

Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday th Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday that stated what happened once Jesus died on the cross? There was a certain part that caught my attention more this year than in years past.
Here is an excerpt:
“… the veil of the sanctuary
was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened,
and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection,
they entered the holy city and appeared to many...@

That part about Saints rising and appearing to many made me wonder… did Saint Joseph appear to Mary? Did Saint Anne appear to her daughter as she mourned the loss of her Son?” 

These were thoughts and questions I never had before.

After the Masses were over yesterday my nephew was baptized! My sister Theresa is his mother.
My sister Theresa was named after The Little Flower 🌹 
I know a statue is not a person… but it looks like God and Saint Therese’ sent a wink from heaven yesterday… look who made sure she had a front row seat to the Baptism!

It’s interesting to see how the Saints have always been a part of the story.

I find such comfort that not only can I ask YOU to pray for me, but I can also reach out to the Saints and ask them to pray for me too.

By the way, if you ever need a parking spot, ask Saint Polycarp… he got us a great one yesterday in downtown Philly!
Someone once told me to ask him for help when looking for a parking spot. Her reasoning was “no one is asking him for anything” 😂 I’m telling you… it works every time I ask! 

We are not alone.
If you need prayers- ASK 
Ask your friends, family and call on the Saints!

What Saint has prayed for you before? I’d love to hear about it!
