For the conversion of friends

[beatitude]

Please pray for two close friends of mine. One is from a not very practising Muslim background. She's extremely interested in Christianity and asks me a lot of questions about Jesus and the faith. She seems to have a very pure and instinctive grasp of basic Christian truths, even though she's never had much contact with Christianity before - often her insights and questions are so clear.

The other is a former Orthodox Jew who became an atheist. She has experienced a lot of suffering in her life and she's tired out. Sometimes she comes with me to church and when she is with me there I can see that she is curious and frightened and hurting all at the same time.

Please pray for them both to see the way forward, and to know that they are loved by God.
