Many times when someone tells me of some trouble or difficulty or grief they are going through I say “I will be praying for you.” I hadn’t realized how important that was until my own mother died and I drew great consolation in knowing that people were praying for me in my loss. In St. John’s Gospel we read: Jesus prayed saying: “I pray not only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their word. As he was confronting his suffering and death at the Last Supper Jesus looked down the centuries and prayed for you and me who are believers. Often we feel alone in our struggles but those who pray for us, (including Jesus!), provide unseen spiritual support.
