St. Dominic has been chosen as a "patron saint" of Praying for Fallen Away Catholics blog / site. I recently read that St. Dominic promoted the praying of the rosary for Catholics who had lapsed in their faith. Thus, I thought St. Dominic would be a great "patron saint" for this site.
Are there other "patron saints" you would recommend for this site?
St. Dominic, please pray for all the fallen away Catholics in our lives. Please pray that God will bring them back to the Holy Roman Catholic Church and guide them to heaven.
Please pray the rosary for all fallen away Catholics. If you're not sure how to pray the rosary, check out this link from EWTN: http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/rosary/how_to.htm

How about St. Monica also, who successfully prayed for the conversion of her husband and for her son St. Augustine?
ReplyDeleteHere's a prayer from www.catholicdoors.com:
Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for
(Mention your intention here.)
and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
