This quote from St. John Vianney was in my daily meditations today:
*
“I can’t stop praying for poor sinners who are on the road to hell. If they come to die in that state, they will be lost for all eternity. What a pity! We have to pray for sinners! Praying for sinners is the most beautiful and useful of prayers because the just are on the way to heaven, the souls of purgatory are sure to enter there, but the poor sinners will be lost forever. All devotions are good but there is no better one than such prayer for sinners.”*
I thought he had a good point, so I am starting this thread so we can all say a little prayer for sinners everywhere, including murderers and other violent criminals, blasphemers, those who have rejected God, anyone else committing grave sin.
**Prayer for the Conversion of Sinners **
from Catholic Online Prayers
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.
In Jesus’ Name I humbly pray. Amen.
