Corapi). When you become aware of someone who is in need of prayer (which, in my life, is almost daily), you can entrust that specific intention to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and then you will be sure of continuous prayers of intercession for that specific intention. Those intentions that are most dear to us (those of friends and family, usually) we will remember to pray for continuously, but for those which we are more than likely to lose track we can call on our great intercessors for help. It is best to do this as soon as you become aware of the need for the prayer intention, before it slips away from your mind.Jennifer Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158779755515570854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-87121556107527008102009-06-17T22:26:41.070-04:002009-06-17T22:26:41.070-04:00Thanks, Red!

They had a child at the same time that my youngest was born, but their baby died. I still don't know any details. But, my prayers for them have increased this year as they happen to have a daughter in my 5 year old's class. Thank you for reminding me that these prayers are still needed...and I hope that I am adding to the grace in their lives.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684654791944883297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-55539636828284839942009-06-17T20:46:31.133-04:002009-06-17T20:46:31.133-04:00Red, Thanks for such a great reminder to pray...an...Red, Thanks for such a great reminder to pray...and keep praying.<br /><br />I often drop the ball when I shouldn't. <br /><br />Great reflection.4ddintxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077143790221131280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-75334010569000736642009-06-17T20:25:12.505-04:002009-06-17T20:25:12.505-04:00Red, thank you for this post and for the reminder ...Red, thank you for this post and for the reminder to be praying for families with sick babies. Sometimes, a situation is so overwhelmingly difficult that it can be hard to pray for one's own intentions. In these cases, the prayers of dear friends are especially cherished. I am sure that your friend appreciates your prayers and your presence more than you know, and by the grace of God she will get through each day.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361232588380298159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-2272614044877601252009-06-17T16:23:36.360-04:002009-06-17T16:23:36.360-04:00This post really touched me (I'm a new reader)...This post really touched me (I'm a new reader). Sorry for your the lose of your daughter Therese. The part where you explained how you felt after others stopped praying really touched home. I feel like I too do this...stop praying. It is amazing how powerful prayers can be and I need to remember to keep praying! <br /><br />I too have a friend whose little boy was recently diagnosed with SMA. She has become very involved in the fight for a cure. She is an amazing faith filled mother whom I admire. Just wanted to share a link to a petition to help get funding for SMA. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/182/petition-to-cure-SMA<br />It is very easy! Thank you for your amazing blog and strong words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
