PRAYER FOR NON BELIEVERS




Merciful Lord, who prayed that there be one flock and one shepherd,

I ask the light of faith

for those who are related to me

and do not know You in Your Eucharistic Presence.

Give them the joy of Your protecting presence.

Bring them into the one fold

of which You are the master and Lord.

Forgive them their sins and teach them the way of repentance.

In the end bring them into the larger circle of Your family,

to God our Father,

to Mary our Mother,

and to You our beloved Brother.


Amen.

James Chapter 1:19-27


Know this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God. Therefore, put away all filth and evil excess and humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror. He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what he looked like. But the one who peers into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, his religion is vain. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Stay With Us


Lord,

the day is already waning,

stay with us.

Stay to illuminate our doubts

and our fears.

Stay so that we may fortify

our light with yours.

Stay to help us be

Strong and generous.

Stay so that in a world

that has little faith and hope

we may be able to encourage

one another

and sow faith and hope.

Stay

so that we, too, may learn from you

to be the light for other young people

and for the world.


– John Paul II

PRAYER TO CHRIST CRUCIFIED


Keep us in peace, O Christ our God,

under the protection of Thy holy and venerable Cross:

save us from enemies visible and invisible

and account us worthy to glorify Thee with thanksgiving,

together with the Father,

and the Holy Ghost,

now and ever and world without end.


Amen.

I confess to Almighty God,

to blessed Mary ever Virgin,

to blessed Michael, the Archangel,

to blessed John the Baptist,

to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,

to all the Saints and to you, Father,

in thought, word and deed,

Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary,

ever Virgin,

blessed Micahel the Archangel,

blessed John the Baptist,

the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,

all the Saints, and you, Father,

to pray to the Lord our God for me.
