Prayer for Persecuted Christians Please join in us in praying this prayer for Persecuted Christians around the world
Father in Heaven, you make your Sun
Shine on good and bad alike. Your Son Jesus Christ died
for us all and in His glorious Resurrection He still retains
the five wounds of His passion. With His divine power
He now sustains all those who suffer the persecution and
martyrdom for the sake of their fidelity to faith of the
Church. Merciful and mighty Father, do not allow Cain to
return again to murder helpless Abel, innocent Abel. May persecuted Christians around the world remain, like
Mary, their Mother, together at the foot of the cross of Christ
the Martyr. Comfort those menaced by violence and those
oppressed by uncertainty. May your Holy Spirit of love
make fruitful the witness and the blood of those who die
forgiving. Amen.
