"We must pray without ceasing, for the salvation of mankind does not depend upon material success...but on Jesus alone." St Francis Xavier Cabrini

The first important point is that salvation depends on Jesus, his gift of redemption, not on our good works. The second important point is that God desires us to be part of his plan of salvation. How? Primarily through prayer, but also through the witness of our lives and the sharing of our faith. Through these efforts we lay a foundation for the grace of God to impact the live of one who has not yet been saved. We will only know in heaven whose lives we made an impact on. Even if we don't, we are called by baptism and confirmation to publicly witness our faith in the only Savior of the world.  Don't neglect this responsibility.
