For my friends’ conversions

[Vivat_Christus]

Please pray for J. and Z., whom I believe are very close to converting to Catholicism from Protestantism. Pray that they not only come to the fullness of Christ’s truth, but that they will also have the grace to navigate the divisions it will likely cause among their friends and family.

And please pray for the conversion of M., another Protestant. I don’t think he’s close at all, but he has come to Mass a few times and has asked me and my priest questions about the Faith.

Thank you and God bless you all.

For One’s Friends

Holy Spirit, love of the father and the son,
hear my prayer for all those
whom you have given me to love.
By the love you have for them I pray you,
protect them from all harm,
deliver them from evil,
comfort them in sorrow,
reassure them in anxiety,
give them your own gladness,
and draw them to yourself.

“I praise God, because he did not reject my prayer
or keep back his constant love for me.”
Psalm 66:20

Prayer of Welcome

Lord, our God, source of all life,
You reveal Yourself in the depths of our being
drawing us to share in Your life and love.
Bless each of us as we respond to Your Spirit’s
invitation to open wide the doors to Christ.
Make the doors of our hearts, our homes and
communities wide enough to receive all who
need human love and fellowship, narrow enough
to shut out all envy, prejudice, and pride. Let us
hasten to welcome the stranger, and so welcome
Your Son. We make this prayer in his name,
Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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.
