We can ask others to do many things on our behalf, except for prayer. The word, which we say to one another: “Pray for me,” is not a delegation or a procuration, but a declaration of communion. There is nothing, like each one of us praying personally, that can drive from us the illusion that life can go on without communion with God and the brethren.
