I saw that by our prayers for someone, and by her prayers for us, we lift one another close to God's heart.

How much the departed souls are in need of our prayers. Some are closer to the light; others are suspended over the depths.

When we ask Our Lady to pray for the souls of Purgatory, she does so, and God's purifying grace is poured upon them like a soothing balm

Prayer, like a powerful injection in a weak organ, brings warmth, life and renewal to every part.

Who is better than a repentant sinner at determinedly hauling along others, away from evil and towards Heaven?

Some souls who - through their actions - find themselves clinging at the brink of doom, are rescued by prayer.

A generous soul is willing to allow God to work through that soul's intercessions. By prayer, that soul harms no-one, but, rather, opens a 'floor' to rain down good things upon the entire world, in contrast to those who 'rain down' bombs.
