Prayer to Our Lady of Africa for the Conversion of the Mussulmans and other Infidels

 

O THOU, our Lady of Africa, whose stainless heart is full of mercy and maternal compassion; consider 

the deep misery of the Mussulmans and other infidels of Africa; remember that the souls of these poor 

infidels are the work of the hands of thy divine Son, that they have been created in his image and 

redeemed at the price of his Precious Blood. Do not allow, O Mother of mercy, that these unhappy 

people, who are, like us, thy children, should continue to fall into hell, despite the merits of JESUS 

CHRIST and the most cruel death he suffered for their salvation. Obtain for them knowledge of our holy 

religion, and the grace to love, to embrace, and to practise it faithfully. And since thou art the mistress 

and sovereign of Africa, O Queen of the Apostles, be pleased to choose and send legions of holy 

missionaries to these abandoned countries, to conquer them, to rescue them from death and Satan, and to 

bring them into the fold of Holy Church. So shall we be all united in one and the same hope and in one 

and the same love, in thy stainless heart, and in the adorable Heart of thy divine Son our LORD JESUS 

CHRIST, who was crucified and died for the salvation of all men, and who rose full of glory, and liveth 

and reigneth in the unity of the FATHER and the HOLY SPIRIT, world without end. Amen.
