APRIL 4, 2021 | EASTER SUNDAY-THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
Dear SMP,

I just wanted to thank you for the discussion at the
Eucharistic Visitor Zoom gathering about praying with
others. What we talked about is such a simple way to
personalize the way we pray with and for others.

As a Vincentian, we are often called to pray with others.
When I first started making home visits, the prayer part of
our ministry seemed a little awkward. Worries about what
to say and how it would be received usurped some of the
joy. It got easier over time, but my question was always,
“May I pray with you?” After our Zoom meeting, I changed
the question. Now the question is “How can I pray for you,
what specifically would you like me to pray for?” This
leads to a much more intimate encounter.

Especially now during COVID, while our Vincentian home
visits are done over the phone, establishing a connection is
so important. When the prayer needs are voiced and I ask
if it is OK to pray right now, I just try to get out of the way
and let the Holy Spirit guide my words. Asking the other
person to pray for my intention is new too. It has been
powerful.

One recent example is when I spoke with a neighbor who
had contracted COVID in December. She had no income,
was falling behind in all her financial obligations, and was
working patiently with the state for unemployment. She
is contacting other agencies for assistance too. Her prayer
request was for her lungs to improve and to give thanks-
giving for all “the angels” working to help her and others
in need. As soon as I completed my prayer, she prayed for
me. What a gift—I was happily evangelized that day.

So thanks for the tip!

Blessings,
Geri
