The Gift of Prayer

What a blessing prayer is. Yesterday we had some upsetting news about our dearly loved adult grandson E. living in the UK. His parents are being as supportive as they can be from NZ and are in constant touch with him. There seems very little Alex and I can do, and we could feel helpless, but we don't simply because ...we can pray. I went to Mass this morning to pray for him. The Mass had been cancelled but at least I could kneel before the Blessed Sacrament and implore our Blessed Lord to bless him and show him the way forward. What a gift for us and for E, that we can do this because we know Our Lord listens to, and answers, our prayers. I won't stop praying until he does!
