This prayer came in on prayer card from the Association of Marian Helpers today:
God our Father, your Son commanded us, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." (Mt. 5:44) By dying for all humanity and asking you to forgive those who crucified him, Jesus saved us and made us sons and daughters of God.
Following his example, we pray for our enemies, known and unknown. We ask that the loving will of God be done in their lives. May the Holy Spirit come into their lives and transform their hearts and ours, leading to peace and reconciliation amongst all your children.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
