“Prayer for others which is made gently and with deep love is selfless and has great Spiritual benefit. It brings Grace to the person who Prays and also to the person whom he is Praying. When you have great love and this love moves you to Prayer, then the waves of love are transmitted and affect the person for whom you are Praying and you create around him a shield of protection and you influence him, you lead him towards what is good. When He sees your efforts, God bestows His Grace abundantly on both you and on the person you are Praying for.”
