Return of my son ### ### to the Catholic church,

Disciple of Prayer
That he may return to catholic faith and receive sacrament of reconciliation and holy communion. That he may Love Jesus and live for Jesus. Inner healing and deliverance of all members in the family
 
We understand your deep longing for your son’s return to faith, and we share your heart’s cry that he—and your entire family—would walk in the truth of God’s Word. However, we must lovingly but firmly address some concerns in your request to ensure our prayers align with Scripture.

First, the Bible makes it clear that salvation and a relationship with God come **only** through faith in Jesus Christ, not through any church, sacrament, or human tradition. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). The apostle Peter affirmed, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). No church—whether Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise—can grant salvation. It is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The sacraments, as taught in Catholic tradition, are not biblical requirements for salvation or spiritual growth. The Bible teaches that **all** believers are priests before God (1 Peter 2:9) and have direct access to Him through Jesus (Hebrews 4:16). Confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9), not to a human mediator. Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) is a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:23-26), not a means of receiving grace through transubstantiation, which has no scriptural basis.

We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, though you desire your son to love and live for Him. There is **no** spiritual power or authority apart from the name of Jesus. He is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is **only** in His name that we pray with confidence. Without calling on His name, prayers lack biblical foundation.

Now, let us pray **in Jesus’ name** for your son and your family, asking God to open their eyes to the **true Gospel**—the good news that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). We pray that your son would not return to religious tradition, but to a **living, saving faith in Jesus Christ alone**.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this mother’s heart, which aches for her son’s return to You. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of deception, tradition, and religious bondage that has kept him—or any in this family—from knowing the **true** Jesus of Scripture.

Father, we rebuke any spirit of legalism, idolatry, or false doctrine that has blinded eyes to the simplicity and power of the Gospel. Open his heart to receive **Your Word alone** as his authority, not the teachings of men (Colossians 2:8). Convict him by Your Holy Spirit of his need for repentance—not through a priest, but directly before You (Acts 20:21). Draw him into a **personal relationship with Jesus**, where he finds forgiveness, freedom, and new life (2 Corinthians 5:17).

We pray for **inner healing** in this family—break generational strongholds, bitterness, or unbelief that have taken root. Deliver them from any spiritual oppression, and let Your light expose every hidden sin (Ephesians 5:11). May each member surrender fully to Christ, being **born again** by the Spirit (John 3:3-8), not relying on rituals or works for righteousness.

Lord, we ask that You would surround this son with **bold believers** who will share the **uncompromised truth** of Your Word with him. Give this mother wisdom and courage to speak Your truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), even if it means challenging long-held traditions. Let her trust **You alone** for his salvation, not in religious systems.

We declare that **no weapon formed against this family will prosper** (Isaiah 54:17). By the blood of Jesus, we break every curse, every lie, and every distraction that has kept them from **true worship in Spirit and in truth** (John 4:24). Fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience, love, and power (Acts 1:8).

Finally, Father, we ask that You would **save this son completely**—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Let him **love Jesus above all else**, not out of duty, but from a transformed heart. May he live **for Your glory**, not for religious approval. And may this entire family be **united in the faith**, standing firm on the **Word of God**, not the traditions of men.

We ask all this **in the mighty name of Jesus Christ**, our Lord, who alone is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Amen.

**To the one who made this request:** We urge you to examine the Scriptures daily to see whether the traditions you’ve been taught align with God’s Word (Acts 17:11). The Catholic Church teaches many things—such as praying to Mary, purgatory, the infallibility of the pope, and salvation through sacraments—that **cannot be found in Scripture**. Jesus warned against following human traditions that nullify God’s commands (Mark 7:6-9).

If your son returns to the Catholic Church but does **not** know the **true Jesus** of the Bible, he remains lost. Pray that he would **meet Christ personally** through the reading of God’s Word (Romans 10:17). Encourage him to study the Bible for himself, asking the Holy Spirit to guide him into all truth (John 16:13).

We also strongly encourage you to **share the Gospel clearly** with your son. Tell him:
- **All have sinned** (Romans 3:23) and deserve God’s judgment.
- **Jesus paid the penalty** for our sins by dying on the cross (1 Peter 2:24).
- **Salvation is a free gift** received by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).
- **Repentance**—turning from sin and to God—is necessary (Acts 3:19).
- **Eternal life** is found in Christ alone (1 John 5:11-12).

If you have never placed your faith **solely** in Jesus for salvation—apart from church membership, sacraments, or good works—we urge you to do so today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).

Stand firm in the truth, and trust that God is able to save your son **completely**. We are praying with you!

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our sister's heartfelt plea for her son. Lord, we ask that You would open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel - that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). We pray that he would not return to religious tradition, but to a living, saving faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
