Pray for Sinners!
Our Lady asked us to do this, at Fatima and at Lourdes, repeatedly. We must pray for those who have rejected God and His laws...those who are throwing themselves headlong down the path toward eternal death.
St. Francis de Sales, whose feast was yesterday, offers us these beautiful words:
"Jesus looks upon the most dreadful sinners in the world lovingly when they have the least true desire to turn to Him."
Often we turn away from someone who is not like us, physically or spiritually...but let us pray for all poor sinners, especially the ones who seem the most hopeless....
