Prayer for Conversion of Sinners
Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful Savior of the world,
we humbly beseech You, by Your most Sacred Heart,
that all the sheep who stray out of Your fold may one
day be converted to You, the Shepherd and Bishop
of their souls, who lives and reigns with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.
Disciples Called to Witness
Gracious and merciful God,
we pray that through the Holy Spirit all Catholics may
hear the call of the New Evangelization and seek
a deeper relationship with your Son, Jesus.
We pray that the New Evangelization will renew
the Church, inspiring all Catholics to “go forth and
make disciples of all nations” and transform society
through the power of the Gospel.
We pray for all members of the Church, that we
heed the words of Christ
“do not be afraid”
and strengthened by the Holy Spirit’s gift of
courage, give witness to the Gospel and share
our faith with others.
We pray that we may become like the father
of the prodigal son — filled with compassion
for our missing brothers and sisters — and
run to embrace them upon their return.
We pray that all people yearning to know
Christ and the Church may encounter him
through the faithful who witness to his love
in their lives.
Loving God, our Father, strengthen us
to become witnesses to the saving grace
of your Son, Jesus, our Lord, who lives and
reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
