Please pray for my brother. He has become a bitter atheist in recent years. He’s only 27 years old, and has a very sardonic outlook on life. He is a gifted songwriter and writes beautiful music - but his message is sometimes…shocking. He has written a song called “Bleep my life” (I’ve censored it for this forum). He hasn’t shown it to me, but my dad told me about it. It’s a song about the meaninglessness of his life, and he expresses his contempt towards religion and God in the song. The chorus goes “bleep my life / bleep my life / bleep it all.” I have no idea how he has fallen into such a deep, bleak pit of despair about life; I don’t know how he became so bitter towards God and towards his own existence. I don’t know if he is suicidal or not, but please, please pray for him. Thank all of you.

O God, the everlasting Creator of all things, remember that the souls of unbelievers were made by Thee and formed in Thine own image and likeness. Remember that Jesus, Thy Son, endured a most bitter death for their salvation. Permit not, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy Son should be any longer despised by unbelievers, but do Thou graciously accept the prayers of holy men and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and be mindful of Thy mercy. Forget their idolatry and unbelief, and grant that they too may some day know Him whom Thou hast sent, even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Salvation, our Life and Resurrection, by whom we have been saved and delivered, to whom be glory for endless ages. Amen.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give Michael guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in his time of need.

Amen

Merciful God, creator of all the peoples of the earth and
lover of souls: Have compassion on all who do not know you
as you are revealed in your Son Jesus Christ; let your Gospel
be preached with grace and power to those who have not
heard it; turn the hearts of those who resist it; and bring
home to your fold those who have gone astray; that there
may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Return of Lapsed Catholics to the Sacraments

Almighty Father,
You desire not the death of the sinner,
but that he may be converted and live.
Pour out upon Mike Your mercy and
hear the prayers of Your servant Lee,
who is lamenting the lost faith of his brother.
Soften the heart of Mike,
who has strayed from the true path
that You established for the salvation of all.
He is now forgetful of his duties as Catholics.
Grant that he may quickly return
to the practice of every Christian virtue,
so that their lives may shine
with the integrity of faith, the fervor of piety,
and the ardor of charity. Restore them all
to Your sacraments and the life of Your grace,
through the merits of the most precious blood
of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen.

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.

P.S. There is a wonderful set of CD’s from Catholic Answers on Answering Atheism that I would recommend.
