Through the Blood of Jesus: When we pray for someone 'in the name of Jesus' or 'through the Blood of Jesus', it's as if fire descends from Heaven, as God's grace is poured upon the needy person.

In God's sight, little babies who die - before birth or after; of natural causes or abortion - are like shooting stars which flare briefly and then fall from the sky. These lives sparkled briefly before tumbling into God's care, as if into a father's arms; yet much prayer is necessary, to halt the evil of abortion by which some people do a grave wrong to the babies, and to their own souls.

Our prayer is like a lifeline let down from Heaven to help those lost and trapped in difficulties. Yet they must be willing to seize it, and to move up; and we must pray patiently if the response is slow in coming.

At His Incarnation, it's as though Christ descended to people trapped and lost in a deep mine-shaft. At intervals, He gives special help to lost souls by sending helpers along who give clear reminders of how to find Christ, and rise up to the light.

It's as though, when we intercede for someone in need, Christ lets down a rope from Heaven, to draw a willing soul up high.

The Lord showed me that He sent out an arrow of faith, at my prayerful request, to someone in danger of spiritual death.

A prayer for someone far from God can help them be drawn out of the abyss of sin, by God's grace, if they are willing to respond

Helping our Neighbour: Each of us should do what we can, in our circumstances, to alleviate the sufferings of other people, both by practical help, sensible planning and prayer - remembering our duty to those nearest to us.

In private prayer we can arise in spirit to be united with the Communion of Saints in Heaven in praise of the Father, through Christ; and we can draw down grace, through Christ, upon a needy person.

Christ's Work of the Cross is the central point of all history: the point to which all things were leading from Creation; and the point around which each of us must gather in each new era - in the Mass - in order to speak as children to the Father, relying on Christ's offering and intercession, as we wait for the End of Time.

Christ unites his friends on earth in the 'Communion of Saints'. Every prayer offered through Christ touches or helps other souls.

When two people pray in the name of Christ, even if separated by distance, they are united in the communion of saints

Someone who adores Christ in the Mass and longs to do His work can remain in spirit beside the Cross all day, with Calvary's offering in mind - making at each moment, with Christ, expressions of love to the Father, thanks for everything good, reparation for sins (patiently accepting trials), prayers for help and salvation for individuals, and prayer for the Church.

People are helped by our intercessions for them in prayer as surely as a desperate person caught in a quicksand is helped by friends who winch him to safety from a helicopter.
