Will pray for him and his baby and the baby’s mother,
Offering of the Holy Face of Jesus
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the adorable Face of Thy Beloved Son, for the honor and glory of Thy Name. for the conversion of sinners, and for the salvation of the dying.
Don’t let him get too miserable; console him by letting him know that if he (or any other person, in fact) asks God for his baby to be admitted into heaven, then he can be sure of that being the case.
I know priests and others who pray for aborted babies, who actually spiritually baptize them, using the words from the rite of baptism “I baptize thee,…, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
We can confidently expect that God accepts this Baptism of Desire on their part and brings Home to Himself the souls He loves.
