Please pray for a very dear friend, he reverted to Catholicism not long ago but the pressure from ‘old friends’ is pushing him far from the Church and in the old lifestyle in which God and Catholic Church have no place. Pray he may resist temptations and complete RCIA. Please pray also for my sister, she completely abandoned the Church and now is becoming very anti-Catholic.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayed for your intention through Christ our Lord, Amen.
 
I’m praying for your friend and your sister. May the Lord guide them back to the Christian faith.

I know what that kind of temptation is like. You’re running the race and all of a sudden you look back at your old life and long to go back to it. I used to be a muslim and sometimes I find myself wishing that I was still a muslim (especially for things like Ramadan and Eid). I pray that God helps me, your friend and your sister. Amen.
 
Thank you so much. Prayers also for you. 💖

On others’ behalf​

Dear Jesus, remembering that You died and rose once for all souls, with You, I pray concurrently for each person You place in my life, for each member of my family—earthly and spiritual—as if each were the only one. I commit them totally to You so that Your love becomes the source of all their thoughts and actions.

For all who cannot at this time in their lives pray or believe, I ask You to accept my prayers, my sacramental participation, and my acts of kindness to be theirs also. In Your infinite love, draw them speedily to Yourself in joy and peace! Lent 1980
 

The prophets intercede with God for their people​

Our God, may I emulate Moses and Abraham in praying for my dear ones, for my friends, for the Church, for priests, and for numerous others throughout the world, whether or not followers of Jesus or members of His Church.

This temporal world obscures the spiritual world, thus many good people sincerely do not believe in You. Life is complex and challenging, as the people of Abraham and Moses knew. They turned aside from a God who seemed unresponsive to some of their genuine needs for security and progress. A natural human response is to move away from pain of hope in God and religion. The Jews desired a manageable, tangible God, as even do some of Your modern followers.

When You sent Moses back to the people, determined to bring Your wrath against them for displacing their God and Rescuer with a statue, with worldly and temporal objects and aspirations. Moses argued with You to spare them. Moses, scripture tells us, was ‘the humblest man on earth’ , yet he won in the argument for mercy, and Your wrath therefore did not come against his people. They remained the chosen people of God.

Like Moses and Abraham, I humbly bargain for the eternal happiness of my dear ones, and of all benevolent unbelievers. In their sincere choices to be considerate in the relationships and events of their lives, they effectively choose to stand with the sheep at the last judgement—that yardstick by which Jesus, Your beloved Son, measures charity. I plead the judgement story of Jesus for my dear ones and for all unbelievers who offer kindness to others. (Matthew 25:31-36)

Bless and flood them with Your love, goodness and truth. Bring them to love and worship You. Let them merit a final judgement with the ‘good sheep’. Transform them into the image of Christ, following His path. Restore anyone whom they have wounded or failed. Grant that they live the Gospel in love and forgiveness.

Thank You for the beauty and goodness in the lives of my dear ones and of all persons. Thank You for the love and service they give others and therefore Yourself, even where they are unconscious of this union in Your love. March 2005

Lord, You gave us Yourself and Church community to guide us sinful human beings. I pray Your light shine through and Your word be revealed to those who doubt the Church You gave St. Peter to shepherd us.
 
Continuing to pray for your sister and your friend.
Merciful God please bless them both with experience of Your love and truth, and draw them deep into Your Life.
