One Form Of Prayer Moves Us Particularly To Take Up The Task Of Evangelization And To Seek The Good Of Others: It Is The Prayer Of Intercession. Let Us Peer For A Moment Into The Heart Of Saint Paul, To See What His Prayer Was Like. It Was Full Of People: "...i Constantly Pray With You In Every One Of My Prayers For All Of You... Because I Hold You In My Heart" (phil 1:4, 7). Here We See That Intercessory Prayer Does Not Divert Us From True Contemplation, Since Authentic Contemplation Always Has A Place For Others.

In This Year Of Faith, Let Us Remember That Faith Is Not Something We Possess, But Something We Share. Every Christian Is An Apostle.
