Prayer of St. Francis Xavier for the Conversion of the Infidels
Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember that Thou alone didst create the
souls of infidels, framing them to Thine own image and likeness; behold, O Lord,
how, to Thy dishonor, hell is daily replenished with them. Remember, O Lord,
Thine only Son, Jesus Christ, Who suffered for them, most bountifully shedding
His precious blood. Suffer not, O Lord, Thy Son and our Lord to be any longer
despised by infidels. But, rather, being appeased by the entreaties and prayers
of the elect, the saints, and of the Church, the most blessed spouse of Thy Son;
be mindful of Thy mercy, yet forgetful of their idolatry and infidelity. Cause
all to know Him Whom Thou didst send, Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord, Who is our
health, life, and resurrection, through Whom we are freed and saved, to Whom be
all glory forever. Amen.
