Hi. I am praying for someone. For them to Convert to the fail, become devot therein and to become a good person overall. (Being as I am not the best as convincing people of any position I hold I thought that prayers would be the most effective). I am currently praying regular prayers (I am not sure what the right term is), Rosaries and I am going to learn the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as well for this. Does anyone know of any onther prayers I could incorperate into this effort? Thanks and God bless.
 
I believe the Rosary is one of the most powerful prayer we have, it includes Our Fathers, Hail Marys, Glory Bes, and a Hail Holy Queen. The absolute best prayer you can offer tho, is to go to Mass for your friend.

Great advice.
Some may find it work by talking or convincing others; others find it best in praying and attending mass. God works with us in different ways and forms.

I am happy to have Nuns and other religious men/women, who dedicate their entire lives in praying.
 
I’ve always been fond of this one:

Prayer to Obtain a Conversion
O holy St. Joseph, who merited to be called just by the Holy Spirit, I urgently recommend to you the conversion of [name], whom Jesus redeemed at the price of his precious blood. You know how sad is the state and how unhappy the lives of those who have banished this loving Savior from their hearts, and how greatly they are exposed to the danger of losing him eternally. I beg you not to permit a person so dear to me to live far from God. Preserve him/her from all danger. Touch the heart of this prodigal, and lead him/her back to God. Do not abandon him/her until you have opened to him/her the gates of the heavenly city, where he/she will praise and bless you throughout eternity for the graces owed to your powerful intercession.
 
Good prayer 🙂 Another one to St Joseph (similar) is:

O just and glorious St. Joseph,
I incessantly entrust to you the salvation of the soul of < person’s name here >,
redeemed at the cost of the precious Blood of Jesus.

You, great saint that you are,
know how unhappy are those who,
having banished the Divine Savior from their heart,
are in danger of losing Him for all eternity.

Therefore, do not allow this soul who is so dear to me
to be separated very long from Jesus.

Make him/her recognize the dangers that threaten him/her.

Speak firmly to his/her heart.
Lead back this prodigal son to the embrace of the best of parents
and do not leave him/her until You have opened the gated of heaven,
where he/she will bless You eternally for the joy that You have given him/her.
Amen.
 
Father, We abandon into Your Hands
all those who are away from the Church,
and all those separated from Your true Church;
Do with them what You will, for we know You are a merciful God.
Whatever You do, we thank You.
Make each of us ready for all that You have for us,
to accept all that You desire in us.
Let only Your will be done in us and in all your creatures -
We wish no more than this O Lord.
Into Your hands we commend the souls of the wayward
and the separated from Your Church;
We offer them to You with all the love of our hearts;
For we love You, Lord,
and we so need to give ourselves,
to surrender ourselves, into Your hands
without reserve and with boundless confidence,
for You are our Father.
Amen.
 
Lord Jesus, merciful Saviour of the world,
we humbly beseech Thee by Thy Most Sacred Heart,
that all the straying sheep may turn unto Thee,
the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls:
Who livest and reignest world without end.

Amen.

And there is also a Chaplet of Conversion… which can be found at:

(towards bottom)

Hope these help in some way…

Bless you,
Margaret
