He has turned away from the church and I know it hurts my mother deeply. I hope at some point he’ll come back…
 
Loving Father we ask that You will welcome Colleen’s brother back to the faith with all the love and welcome with which the father welcomes the prodigal son.
Please give hope and peace to Colleen and her mother that Your love goes with him and will draw him back.
 
St. Monica, pray for him.
St. Peregrine, pray for him.
St. Peter, pray for him.
St. Paul, pray for him.
 
I would recommend reading about Sister Briege McKenna, who I am convinced is a very holy person. She wrote on prayer and on the sacraments, proposing a very powerful method of prayer. I have used it when I pray for my own relatives. Basically, I ask God to re-enkindle the embers of my relative’s baptismal graces. Asking God to fan the flames of this sacramental grace can be a powerful way of calling back lost souls (I’m sort of paraphasing Sister McKenna here - you can read the exact quotes from on-line exerts, if not her whole book).

Additionally, you might commend your brother to Padre Pio. He stated once that he never failed those commended to his care.

Pray for me as well. My own faith is an on-going process, while I can believe firmly in Christ, I tend to err on the side of being too zealous in the faith.
 
***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 death.

Amen***

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last
and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
 
I am praying that God Bless your brother that he may put his faith and trust in God

I entrust your brother to the Blessed Virgin Mary. May the Virgin Mary lead your brother to her Son and to a life of supernatural grace and charity.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. 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 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.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen
