Bringing you the
"Good News" of Jesus Christ
and His Church While PROMOTING CATHOLIC
Apologetic Support groups loyal to the Holy Father and Church's
magisterium
I have a very dear loved one (not family) who has lost their faith
and strayed from a Catholic childhood. I pray extensively each
day for this person to be lead home to Christ and the Church.
Are there special Saints that are appropriate for this particular
request?

Eric replied:
Hi Ken,
I can think of two:
St. Monica, who prayed for many years for her son
(St. Augustine) and her husband (who converted on his deathbed) to return
to the faith, and
St. Jude, the patron of hopeless causes.
I can't think
of any who are specifically patrons of those who have wandered from the
faith although there are untold number of saints who have done that themselves.
(St. Ignatius of Loyola comes to mind)

Ken —
Just to add: as Padre Pio said,
"Pray, hope, and don't worry."
God
loves that person more than you do.
Entrust that person to God.
Pray, yes,
but simply, and with confidence in God's love.
Mary Ann
