Prayer For Those Who Do Not Know Christ

O Lord Jesus, You who displayed a deep longing for souls during the darkest hours of Your passion, inspire us to share in that same thirst. Illuminate our hearts so that we may grow in understanding of Your word, and grant us the fortitude to preach it in every aspect of our lives. May we lead countless souls, far removed from the truth, to You through Your holy Church and the intercession of Your blessed Mother. Let this be so that, united with You and through Your grace, they may be reconciled to the Eternal Father, in whose love You dwell with the Holy Spirit, reigning forever and ever. Amen. (Then, say one "Our Father" for those who do not know Christ.)
