Persevere In Prayer

“Do you persevere in prayer? Do you know who Jesus is? If he seems silent, do you ask him again and again for what you need? Do you humble yourself and continue to cry out for mercy for yourself and those you love? Saint Josemariá Escrivá in his little book ‘The Way’ wrote: “Persevere in prayer. Persevere, even when your efforts seem sterile. Prayer is always fruitful.”

Prayer For Unbelievers

O Holy Spirit of Truth, we beseech Thee to enlighten the minds of unbelievers in the midst of us, to incline their hearts to receive Thy Word, and to believe the teachings of Thy Church; give them courage to accept the faith and openly profess it, that they may come into union with Thee and the Father, through Christ our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth forever and ever. Amen.

Father Baker's Prayer

O, Victorious Lady,
Thou who hast ever such powerful influence with thy Divine Son,
In conquering the hardest of hearts,
Intercede for those for whom we pray
That their hearts be softened by the rays of Divine Grace,
That they may return to the unity of the true faith,
Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
