Pray without ceasing...

I talked to Joanna this evening about a variety of things but she left me with one quote that stuck. It was mentioned by a priest at their local parish and he said the following:

    "To know a person you have to love them. 

To love them you have to know their soul. 

To know their soul you have to pray for them."

While this may sound simple it really spoke to me and rang true with my experiences. It seems that the people I remember to pray for I somehow feel like I know better in a special way. Like a "through God's eyes" kind of way...which is an awesome way. While we try to pray with each other every night, I don't always remember to pray for my dear man every night. When I do I find a childlike peace and understanding of him and his soul. God  brings us closer to those we pray for and it's utterly important to remember to pray for the person whose soul you intend to take responsibility for the rest of your remaining breaths.
