It\u2019s humbling, and deeply moving, to know that at any given hour, somewhere, someone is praying for me. Their hidden intercession steadies me more than they know.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. John Henry Newman writes: \u201cTo make professions is to play with edged tools\u2026 \u2018By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.\u2019 \u2026 This is a day of individual profession\u2026 responsibility, and recompense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to underestimate the gravity of our words and the quiet power of our prayers. But both carry eternal weight, shaping the narrative of our life and the lives of others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Praying for others is one of the greatest acts of charity we can make. It is love at work in secret, unseen yet mighty. When someone prays for us, they hold us together when our own strength falters; their faith carries us further than perhaps we could walk alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To know you are being prayed for is to glimpse the mercy of God in real time. It is also a glimpse of heaven itself\u2014where the angels and saints intercede for us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us pray for others as we say: \u201cCome, Lord Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Reflect: How would your prayer life look different if you fully grasped the power of intercessory prayer?
