Pray For The Lost

I've noticed something when I've gone to Mass. Sometimes death turns people away from God. A person loses their loved one and they don't come back to Church. And I'm not sure why that is. But I am sure about what to do for those people, and that is pray.

We've just started Lent and some give things up, but others find something else to do to grow closer to God, and why not pray? Why not pray for those who are lost, those who need to find their way back to God? Why not pray for those who have lost someone and are not finding comfort from God? Lent seems like a great time for that.

There has to be a reason people are lost. Maybe they are waiting for someone to find them, to reach them, to help them discover what they are missing. Maybe they are the ones who need that Easter joy when this holy season is done. Pray for and seek the lost. Be an example. Welcome others to God.
