“The Lord said to me, ‘The loss of each soul plunges Me into mortal sadness. You always console Me when you pray for sinners. The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion of sinners. Know, My daughter, that this prayer is always heard and answered.’” (No. 1397)
The Diary of St. Faustina is an excellent resource for any sinner. It recounts the many visions & conversations that a nun (Sr. Faustina) has with Jesus. Among many other things, and entry in the Diary describes a prayer for the conversion of sinners. The prayer, along with other paragraphs to reinforce Jesus' desire for conversions, is something I started doing a couple weeks ago, daily.
My church's RCIA group, already large, has doubled in size.
One of my Catholic friends is dating an inactive Mormon; he has since become very open to Catholicism, and is on the verge of attending Catholic Mass regularly, and will likely do RCIA next year, after senior year engineering is over.
I am amazed at how much this prayer can do, and I've attached it in a picture someone made that overlayed it on the Divine Mercy image, along with a few other bits from the Diary.
“‘I remind you, My daughter, that as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was open wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world – mercy triumphed over justice.’” (1572, page 558)
