207. Prayer for the Conversion of Heretics
we beseech thee to look with pitying eyes on heretical and schismatical nations. Do thou, who art the Seat of wisdom, illuminate their minds, wretchedly involved in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may know the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of JEsus CHnisT, out of which no sanctity or salvation can be found. Finally, complete their conversion by obtaining for them the grace to be- lieve every truth of our holy Faith, and to submit to the Sovereign Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of JEsus CunisT on earth, that thus, being soon united to us by the bonds of divine charity, they may make with us but one fold under one and the same pas- tor, and that we may thus, O glorious Virgin, all sing exultingly for ever, ** Rejoice, O Virgin Mary! alone thou hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world." Amen
