Pray For The Sick

Notes from people who have experienced miracles from prayers:

“Sometimes it takes time, a lot of time before you realize prayers have been answered.
While our entire family was born-again Christians, my Catholic mother prayed for us. In fact, my mother and stepfather fasted and prayed every Friday for 18 years, asking God to bring us into the Catholic Church. She never said a word to us. And then the prayer was answered.

Somebody prayed for me.”

For a long time, George has made it a habit to pray for people he meets who are suffering or ill or in need or have lost a loved one.

“I always say an Our Father or Hail Mary, offered for them silently with reverence, hoping they may feel touched in some way, and it will ease their pain in their time of need and perhaps give them some comfort.”

***

“It often seems that when I pray for someone else rather than myself, there’s a higher response rate. Unselfish prayer for someone who is sick or dying or grieving has an effect you may never realize in this life. But be certain, it has an effect.”
