I have some family who were raised in a Christian home, were baptized as teen-agers and professed faith in Christ at that time and for some time following, but now in later life are openly stating they don’t believe Christ is God, nor do they believe in a personal God. These changes of belief came about gradually throughout the lives of the older ones, and more suddenly by some next generations in college, but for most of them the contention regards: if the Bible is True, how can this God allow so much suffering? But it is not just an emotional response. These are extremely intelligent folks who have studied much, traveled, served, etc… Three of those who I have heavily weighing on my heart are active Unitarian-Universalists. And they openly state they don’t believe in Christ. I am so saddened by this, and altho’ I’ve known this a while, part of me feels in shock. I need to join with others in prayer for these beloved family. I also need prayers for myself, that I not despair, that I persevere in prayer, that I not give up the fight (spiritual), and that I continue to love them, hopefully love them with Christ’s Love. Please join me in praying for those who have once professed faith in Christ, and then have in later life rejected Him. And if you have any Scripture references or writing or links to sites that would strengthen my prayers for this kind of concern, please share them. I am eager for help! Christ’s Love, Joy, and Peace to all who intercede for others, and may the Lord protect us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen!:signofcross:
 
Jesus’s said:
“If you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith, on behalf of some sinner I will give that soul the grace of conversion”.
"O Blood and water that gushed forth from the heart of Jesus, as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You”.

Thank you!!!
 
I pray that these family members “Rise up from
[their dead state] and Christ will shine on them”
Eph. 5, that they repent of their darkened ways and
be LIGHT, for everything that is enlightened is
Light in the Lord!!

OUR Father, who is in heaven,
Your Name be held holy,
Your kingdom come,
Your 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 our trespasses,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is w/ you,
blessed are you among women,
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. (x3)
 
** A prayer for those who don’t know Christ
**Lord Jesus! You,
Who in the most bitter moments of Your passion
showed an ardent thirst for souls,
grant that we may share in this thirst.
Give us the light to grow
in the knowledge of Your word
and grant us strength so that,
by collaborating in preaching this word
at every moment of our lives,
we may bring to You,
through Your holy Church,
and the intercession of Your holy Mother,
innumerable souls who live far from the truth.
Grant this so that with You,
through You and in You,
they may be reconciled to the Eternal Father,
in union with whom,
together with the Holy Spirit,
You live and reign forever and ever.

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.

Every day I pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the hard-hearted in my family and around the world! At least I try…

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Thank you to everyone who is praying. It’s encouraging to me to know others are joining with me in lifting up my loved ones as well as all others who deny Christ. I’m praying also for all prayer warriors. May the Lord protect us.
From Jesus’ prayer for us as found in John 17, (verses 13-21):
“But now I come to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask Thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth. As Thou didst send Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.”
Blessed be the Lord forever and ever Amen.
