[Note: At the apparition site of Medjugorje, the initial apparitions of which a Vatican commission recently authenticated, Our Lady reportedly gave five wonderful promises, on September 2, 2012, for those who pray for atheists (the ones “who have not come to know the love of the Heavenly Father”).
The promises are:
1. “I will strengthen you.”
2. “I will fill you with my graces.”
3. “With my love, I will protect you from the evil spirit.”
4. “I will be with you.”
5. “With my presence, I will console you in difficult moments.”
The prayer:
“In the Name of Jesus, Who said that anything we ask in His Name will be
given to those who believe, I ask that those who have not come to know the
love of the Heavenly Father will be blessed with the knowledge that they are
loved by Him beyond all human reasoning and understanding. Please grant
them the gift to feel His love as it enfolds them to such an extent that they
will be unable to resist or deny it. May the knowledge of the Heavenly
Father’s infinite love stir within their hearts the desire to return that love
to Him, and to reflect it to all others. May their lives be a pure
reflection of His resplendent love. I ask this in the Name of the Father, and
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen”
