Prayer to St. Anthony

for conversion


Loving Saint Anthony you always reached out in compassion to those who
had lost their faith. You were especially concerned because they had
lost access to the healing words of Jesus found in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation and in the nourishing presence of Jesus in the Sacrament
of the Eucharist.

Intercede for (name) who has stopped practicing his/her faith. Reawaken
in his/her heart a love for our Church and the sacraments, and enkindle
in his/her heart a sense of forgiveness for the ways he/she might have
been hurt by members of the Church who fell short of the teaching of
Christ.

Finally, St. Anthony, help me to respond to my own call to conversion so
that I might become an example of someone who has found great peace in
the arms of Christ. May the joy I experience as a Catholic be an
invitation to those who are lost to come home again to the Church which
we love. Amen.
