Our Prayers Matter!
Prayer is our lifeline to Heaven. How else can each of us have a personal relationship with our Lord? In that divine relationship, we have life that is woven in faith, hope, and charity. Therefore, let us not underestimate the power of prayer.
God’s love by way of His grace is at work, strengthening our faith, replenishing our charity — keeping hope alive! If we neglect our prayers, we deprive ourselves of God’s loving grace.
Prayer requires effort, no doubt. How often do we struggle with daily prayer — too many distractions, not enough time, etc., Don’t give up. Have comfort in knowing that Holy Mary, Mother of God, brings hope to all people; that those who persevere in prayer to Mary can trust in our Lord’s loving response. Amen!
