Recite the Salutations to Mary for the Conversion of Sinners

The Salutations to Mary were written by St John Eudes (1601-1680) and this version was promoted by Fr Paul of Moll (1824-1896). He asked that we recite these salutations for the conversion of sinners.

Fr Moll was convinced that those who recite these prayers for the conversion of sinners may rely on our Blessed Mother’s powerful protection and blessing.

Often times we get discouraged when our friends and family members refuse to even consider the Catholic faith. Be not discouraged. The prayer below is a powerful prayer for conversion.

This prayer is found in this wonderful prayer book called Catholic Prayers: Compiled from Traditional Sources.
