Prayer for Enemies of The Faith
A Prayer to Our Mother Of Perpetual Help for The Conversion of a Sinner
.
O MARY, Mother of Perpetual Help, thou knowest so well the great value of an immortal soul. Thou knowest what it means, that every soul has been redeemed by the Blood of thy Divine Son. Thou wilt not then despise my prayer if I ask from thee the conversion of a sinner, nay, a great sinner, who is rapidly hurrying on toward eternal ruin. Thou, O good and merciful Mother, knowest well his (her) irregular life. Remember that thou art the Refuge of Sinners; remember that God has given thee power to bring about the conversion of even the most wretched sinners. All that has been done for his (her) soul has been unsuccessful; if thou wilt not come to his (her) assistance, he (she) will go from bad to worse. Obtain for him (her) the effectual grace that he (she) may be moved and brought back to God and to his (her) duties. Send him (her), if necessary, temporal calamities and trials, that he (she) may enter into himself (herself) and put an end to his (her) sinful course. Thou, O most merciful Mother, hast converted so many sinners through thine intercession, at the prayer to thee of their friends. Be then also moved by my prayer, and bring this unhappy soul to true conversion of heart.

O Mother of Perpetual Help, deign to show that thou art the Advocate and Refuge of Sinners. So I hope, so may it be. Amen.

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.
St. Matthew 5:44

Pray for those who persecute and calumniate you.
St. Matthew 5:44
.
And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also do this. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? for sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much. But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
St. Luke 6:32-36
