Prayer for the Conversion of Sinners

This brief aspiration belongs to the treasury of Precious Blood devotions preserved in older Catholic prayer books and editions of the Raccolta. No individual author is securely identified. It appeals to the saving merits of Christ’s Blood and joins three works of mercy in a single petition: the conversion of sinners, assistance for the dying, and relief for the faithful departed. Catholics may pray it during devotion to the Precious Blood, after Mass, before the Blessed Sacrament, or whenever they wish to intercede for souls in urgent spiritual need. Its brevity also makes it suitable for frequent prayer throughout the day.

When to pray it: Pray it whenever interceding for sinners, the dying, and the holy souls in purgatory.
