Pray for Your Friends

I know this may sound like very basic advice, but don't forget to pray for your friends.

I have a friend who's going through a pretty rough time right now. I've taken time each day to either pray the Rosary for him or lift up petitionary prayers. What an intimate thing; to lay down a loved one before the Lord! I have no idea how God is answering these prayers but I can feel the Spirit working!

Also, I live in a residence community of students. I am very close to the people in the building and I have begun saying a little blessing for all of them each night before I go to sleep. Nothing very specific or special, just asking God to hold all of us close.

For all of those times we cannot make it on our own... it's nice to know that there are people looking our for us. Peace turtles!
