A cousin of mine, raised in a strict Catholic household fell in love with a man who was divorced. They could not wait for the annulment process to finish in order to marry, so they got married outside the Church. Earlier this year they had a daughter and today was their dedication ceremony. I ask for prayers of guidance to show love in the situation and for the prayers of conversion back to the Church.
 
Prayer for Inactive Catholics

Christ Jesus, Head of the Body, the Church,
You so loved the world
You gave your life to redeem us
And restored us to Your friendship.

Give us, we pray, the grace we need
To speak lovingly and confidently
A word of invitation to inactive Catholics
To return to the practice of their faith.

Make us instruments of Your welcome and peace.
Bring back to the fold all who have been hardened by the world
Or wounded by the Church.
May they know the joy of reconciliation with You
And join us once more at the Table of the Eucharist.

Use us as messengers of your love
To reach out to inactive Catholics,
To marginalized Catholics,
And to anyone searching for a faith community
They can call “Home.”

Grace Your Church with new members
Strong in the practice of their faith
And in their devotion to the Eucharist.

Help us grow in love for one another
And for the Most Holy Name of Jesus
In whose Name we offer this prayer. Amen.

:signofcross:
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
