You are probably familiar with the “sinner's prayer.” Perhaps you have even prayed it at some point in your life. This prayer is often traced back to the evangelistic campaigns of Billy Sunday ...

Most loving Jesus, when I consider your tender heart and see It full of mercy and tenderness toward sinners, my own heart is filled with joy and confidence that I shall be so kindly welcomed by you.

Sustain the just, convert the sinners, assist the dying, deliver the souls in purgatory, and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of your love.
