The Kindness of Shared Prayers

"May the angels lead you into paradise..."
― In Paradisum

Earlier today, I received an e-mail from a woman who is part of a retreat group in which I participate.  She wrote to tell the members of our group that a woman who had served in retreats with us was losing her battle with cancer, and asked for our prayers.  Various members of the group responded that they were praying.  Another friend called me to share her surprise and sadness at the news.  I have no doubt that all of us who received that e-mail today said prayers.  I prayed for the courageous woman who served with us on retreat last May and gave thanks for having known her.  There was comfort and kindness in the shared prayers of the group.
