LORD JESUS CHRIST, we humbly come to You today to pray for our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted because of their faith in You. We ask for Your Divine intervention, O Lord, and grant our persecuted brethren the strength to bear all the pains and sufferings faithfully for the sake of Your Gospel and for the advancement of Your Kingdom here on Earth. We pray that by their sacrifices many souls will obtain Your promise of salvation.
Lord, we also lift up to You the hearts and souls of the persecutors. May they find You in their and hearts and, just like Saint Paul, be converted to the faith. In Your Holy Name, Amen.
