482. Prayer for the Conversion of Free

masons. roo Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. 1.) LORD Jesus Curist, who showest forth thy omnipotence most manifestly when Thou spar- est and hast compassion; Thou who didst say, ‘‘Pray for those who persecute and calumniate you,” we implore the clemency of thy Sacred Heart on behalf of souls, made in the image of Gop, but most miserably deceived by the treacherous snares of Freemasons, and going more and more astray in the way of perdition. Let not the Church, thy spouse, any longer be oppressed by them; but, appeased by the intercession of the blessed Virgin thy Mother and the prayers of the just, be mindful of thy infinite mercy; and, disregarding their per- versity, cause these very men to return to Thee, _ that they may bring consolation to the Church by a most abundant penance, make reparation for their misdeeds, and secure for themselves a glo- rious eternity; who livest and reignest world with- out end. Amen
