Praying for Muslims

[fin]

not regularly but ive prayed for the conversion of All unbelievers .
i guess i should add my prayers for converson of Muslims.

I voted “no” because at Mass we don’t have a formal, public prayer for the conversion of Muslims. But I do pray for their conversion in my Rosary and other prayers, and I do offer my Holy Communions for them sometimes. At our church we just don’t pray all together for their conversion. What a good idea, though, to add that as one of the petitions at Mass!

CatholicSam, the Divine Liturgy, by definition, is a public prayer (actually it is public service).

What does the word liturgy mean?

1069
The word “liturgy” originally meant a “public work” or a “service in the name of/on behalf of the people.” In Christian tradition it means the participation of the People of God in "the work of God."5 Through the liturgy Christ, our redeemer and high priest, continues the work of our redemption in, with, and through his Church.

1070
In the New Testament the word “liturgy” refers not only to the celebration of divine worship but also to the proclamation of the Gospel and to active charity.6 In all of these situations it is a question of the service of God and neighbor. In a liturgical celebration the Church is servant in the image of her Lord, the one “leitourgos”;7 she shares in Christ’s priesthood (worship), which is both prophetic (proclamation) and kingly (service of charity):

      The liturgy then is rightly seen as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ. It involves the presentation of man's sanctification under the guise of signs perceptible by the senses and its accomplishment in ways appropriate to each of these signs. In it full public worship is performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and his members. From this it follows that every liturgical celebration, because it is an action of Christ the priest and of his Body which is the Church, is a sacred action surpassing all others. No other action of the Church can equal its efficacy by the same title and to the same degree

past, when reflecting on Muslims. My thoughts center of the Spanish Reconquista, Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours, the Crusades, and the great wars against the Ottoman Turks in Eastern Europe. These are chapters in our history we should not ignore or declare evil or irrelevant. God was with those of our Catholic forefathers.

basically, I pray for all including Catholics themselves to become devoted Catholics.

Our Lady of Fatima asked us to pray for the conversion of Muslims and their conversion was to take place through her.

I didn’t know Our Lady of Fatima made such a request. Can somebody provide a source for this? Thank you.
