Jesus said,
“Whatever you ask the Father
in My name,
He will give you.”

And so I pray
for the most important intention
that I have today.
In fact, it’s probably
the most important intention
that I will ever have –
I pray for those
who are dear to me
who have lost their faith.

I pray that Almighty God,
for whom nothing is impossible
and who was able to touch the heart
of even the most hardened opponent,
Saint Paul,
will touch their hearts
so that they may come to believe
in Jesus
and follow Jesus.
Then,
they may have the opportunity
to spend eternity
in peace and happiness
in heaven.

A prayer to save the souls
of people I love –
surely this is the most important prayer
that I’ll ever say?
