The picture of Abraham and God in a deep 2 way conversation about something that troubles both of them is just what I need to be confident that working together we can come through

There is no simple or absolute answer to that, but I will address it next Monday. Thank you for asking!
Mary

As church, this is so important. Love the suggestion of the Abraham model of intecessory prayer. Thank God for the prayers of all our intecessors including you Mary.
God bless.

Thank you for the thoughtful reflection.

One thing I wonder…What about those who do not have anyone, or as many people, praying for them? Surely God loves them just as much. Though prayer helps us hear God it is hard for me to understand how our prayers convince God to help those He already loves. Your insight is always so helpful perhaps you could explain.

As Catholics; we must pray for those who persecute us. It’s not easy but can be done if your heart is in it… MD
