The Kindness of Saying the Rosary

"I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens.  Not just to the person or persons for whom I'm praying, but also something wonderful happens to me.  I'm grateful that I'm heard."
― Maya Angelou
 
I received a text from my lovely friend today, asking me about my colleague Mike (whom she does not know), and letting me know that she said two rosaries for him.  I appreciate my friend's kindness in praying for my colleague and in paying attention to something that is important to me.  I have no doubt that her openness to prayer and to praying for someone she does not know is part of what makes her so very special.  As Maya Angelou said, something wonderful happens to you when you pray.
