Lord Jesus, Good Shepherd, You seek out the lost sheep and carry them home on Your shoulders. We pray for (name), who is far from You. Send Your Holy Spirit to touch their heart. Remove every obstacle that keeps them from You. Open their eyes to Your love, their ears to Your voice, and their heart to Your mercy. Through the intercession of St. Monica, who prayed for years for her son Augustine's conversion, grant us perseverance in prayer and trust in Your timing. We place them in Your Sacred Heart. Amen.
Invite a small group to pray this with you. Everyone gets the same prayer text, the same rhythm, the same intention.
