What should we pray for?
At this point in time, we should all think of something to pray for. The world
is so full of evil. We should pray to end abortion, divorce, suicide, homosexuality, impurity, and war. But, more
importantly, we should pray for the conversion of sinners. Why? Because Our Lady of Fatima said, "Souls go to
hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them." If we only knew how many souls go to hell!
St. Vincent Ferrer said, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very
hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this number, St. Bernard and I went
straight to heaven, thee went to purgatory, and all the others went to hell." How many damned souls there were, in one hour! How can we save them? By prayer,
perseverence, and sacrifices. We should always pray for the conversion of sinners, and offer up our little trials of
our day for them. If you save even one soul, you have assurance of your salvation.
We may also think: "How did all those people get damned?" Well, by not praying,
or not praying enough, by following the world and worldly pleasures, and by impurity especially. Our Lady of Fatima
also said, "More souls go to hell because of the flesh than any other reason." It is sad to see how impure our world
is today. Please, pray for the conversion of sinners, because Our Lady of Fatima predicted that our future would
be worse than the Flood, if we don't turn to God.
