Heavenly Father, I pray that my husband will be won over to Jesus through my conduct. Give me a reverent purity in my way of life. May I be adorned with the hidden character of the heart expressed in the unfading beauty of a calm and gentle disposition (1 Pt 3:1, 2, 4). Father, show me what it means to be Your daughter, a bride of Christ, a temple of the Spirit, and a Christian woman. I repent of my sins and trust You completely. I put my husband, marriage, family, and life into Your hands in Jesus’ name. Amen.
 
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
In your precious name, I pray for the strengthening of the Catholic faith in my fallen away family and friends, my sister and children, and for the return to your blessed Church of all lapsed and non-practicing Catholics, for the strengthening and return of your Catholic flock of sheep to you, our Divine Shepherd, and to your divinely ordained Holy Catholic Church.
Amen.
 
O Mary, Mother of mercy and Refuge of sinners, we beseech thee, be pleased to look with pitiful eyes upon poor heretics and schismatics. Thou who art the Seat of Wisdom, enlighten the minds that are miserably enfolded in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may clearly know that the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Roman Church is the one true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which neither holiness nor salvation can be found. Finish the work of their conversion by obtaining for them the grace to accept all the truths of our Holy Faith, and to submit themselves to the supreme Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth; that so, being united with us in the sweet chains of divine charity, there may soon be only one fold under the same one shepherd; and may we all, O glorious Virgin, sing forever with exultation: Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, thou only hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world. Amen.
 
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
In your precious name, I pray for the strengthening of the Catholic faith in my fallen away family and friends, my sister and children, and for the return to your blessed Church of all lapsed and non-practicing Catholics, for the strengthening and return of your Catholic flock of sheep to you, our Divine Shepherd, and to your divinely ordained Holy Catholic Church.
Amen.
 
PRAYER TO
OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
(For The Conversion Of Sinners)

Mother of Perpetual Help,
you know so well the value of an immortal soul.
For every soul has been redeemed by the precious Blood of your Divine Son.
Hear my prayer as I plead for the conversion of a sinner,
one who is quickly heading for eternal ruin.
I know that you are the refuge of sinners.
I know also that God has given you
the power to bring about the conversion
of even the most hardened sinner.
Until now, nothing has been successful in changing
this person’s sinful way of life.
Obtain from your Son the grace of conversion.
Merciful Mother,
you have brought about the conversion of many sinners
through the prayers of their relatives and friends.
Listen to my prayer
and bring about a true conversion for this unhappy soul.
Mother of Perpetual Help,
show that you really are the Refuge of Sinners. Amen.
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!

Prayer for the Conversion of Sinners

Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful Saviour 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.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.
 
Dear St. Monica,

Troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant to us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our pleas
for all non practicing Catholics and those
discerning conversion to Catholicism.

Lord, I lift up especially my family members who
have strayed from becoming the best version of
themselves by not participating fully in your Holy
Church, and also for the family members of my
friends who desire the same for their loved ones.

Please grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

O Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus, and in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit,
with the knowledge of Your will,
I ask that You fill my family and all CAF members who have
fallen away from the faith with the knowledge of Your will
through ALL spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Enlighten this precious child of Yours, dear Lord!
Teach this dear one to live in a manner that is worthy of You,
so as to be fully pleasing to You,
full of good works bearing good fruits and ever growing in knowledge of You.
Strengthen this lost lamb, dear Lord,
with every power of Your Holy Spirit,
in accordance with Your might, for all endurance and patience,
with joy, giving thanks to You O Father!
Make Your child fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in the Light.
Deliver this beloved one from the power of darkness
into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son, Jesus,
and transfer them into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son, Jesus,
in whom is redemption and the forgiveness of sins.
Amen.

Lord, I want my husband and my sons
to know and love You as I do.
I worry, Lord, what paths
they may take
without the wisdom of your
Church to guide the way.

I know this is a journey they each have
to make alone, Lord,
but it’s hard for me to let go.

Help me, Lord, to surrender my fears to You.
Help me to place them totally in your hands.
Help me to remember that even when
they pull away from You
that You are never away from them.

Help me to respond with patience and wisdom
to their journey, Lord.
Help me to be gentle and understanding.
Help me to find the right ways to
encourage them, Lord,
and to speak to them through my example.
Help them never to forget that the doors
of the Church,
like a mother’s arms,
are always open to them.

Amen.
