I’m in another forum in a formal debate concerning the history of the universal authority of Peter’s successors. I wish very much to represent His Church truthfully. All prayers that I speak God’s truth and do so charitably are appreciated. As are all words of encouragement. 😛
 
Dear Brother in Christ. I’m glad it’s not me who has to do that! But as*"…the Spirit Himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words…"(*Romans 8, 26) please Holy Spirit, inspire our brother with all the power and wisdom of Pentecost.

Jesus promised, “*I still have many things to say to you but they would be too much for you now. But when the Spirit comes He will lead you to the complete truth…All He tells you will be taken from what is mine.” “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but indeed…to the ends of the earth.” [John 16:8-9, 12-13, 15]

“Glory be to Him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to Him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.” [Ephesians 3: 14-21]

“When the Advocate comes, whom I shall send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who issues from the Father, He will be my witness. And you too will be my witnesses.” [John 15: 26-27]

“I have chosen you, not rejected you, do not be afraid for I am with you; stop being anxious and watchful for I am your God. I give you strength, I bring you help, and I uphold you with my victorious right hand” [Isaiah 41:9-10]

“There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving, and that peace of God, which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.” [Philippians 4:6-7] *
 
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.
 
Praying for you. May God choose the words that flow from your mouth (key-board) and may he open the ears and eyes of those who are receiving those words.
 
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc,
et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

Sts John Chrysostom, Justin Martyr, Gregory the Great and Peter the Apostle, pray with us.
 
God, please hear our pleas for our brother. Bring him the right words and open his ears to respond with your love to whatever is set before him. Please free him from anxiety and surround him with the calmness and protection of abounding love of the holy spirit.
 
St. Catherine of Alexandria, Justin Martyr, and Thomas Aquinas, all patron saints of apologetics, pray for the OP.

God Bless
In Jesus through Mary
