The number one prayer request that Relevant Radio receives is for the conversion of family members and loved ones who have left the Church, aren’t practicing their faith, or are living a sinful lifestyle. On this third day of the National Novena to Our Lady of Champion, we pray for the conversion of sinners. We pray today for hardened sinners, who are far from God and have distanced themselves from his mercy. We pray also, and especially, for ourselves.
