Catholic Prayers for Wayward Children & Fallen-Away Catholics

Seeing a beloved child drift away from the Catholic faith causes parents profound grief. St. Monica wept and prayed for 17 years for St. Augustine. St. Ambrose assured her: "It is impossible that the child of so many tears should perish."

“For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”

— Luke 15:24
