Pray for Persecuted Christians throughout the World and for the Grace of Final Perseverance




Pray for Persecuted Christians and others  

You expired Jesus but the Source of Life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of Mercy opened up for the whole world.  O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.  O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I Trust in You.  

Pray too for the grace of Final Perseverance

Eternal Father, I humbly adore Thee, and thank Thee for having created me, and for having redeemed me through Jesus Christ. I thank Thee most sincerely for having made me a Christian, by giving me the true faith, and by adopting me as Thy son, in the sacrament of baptism. I thank Thee for having, after the numberless sins I had committed, waited for my repentance, and for having pardoned (as I humbly hope) all the offences which I have offered to Thee, and for which I am now sincerely sorry, because they have been displeasing to Thee, who art infinite goodness. I thank Thee for having preserved me from so many relapses, of which I would have been guilty if Thou hadst not protected me. But my enemies still continue, and will continue till death, to combat against me, and to endeavor to make me their slave. If Thou dost not constantly guard and succor me with thy aid, I, a miserable creature, shall return to sin, and shall certainly lose Thy grace. I beseech Thee, then, for the love of Jesus Christ, to grant me holy perseverance unto death. Jesus, Thy Son, has promised that Thou wilt grant whatsoever we ask in his name. Through the merits, then, of Jesus Christ, I beg, for myself and for all the just, the grace never again to be separated from Thy love, but to love Thee forever, in time and eternity. 
Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.
