"Praying"

JMJ.  I went to confession today.  Now, that's not that surprising but at the end, following Father's absolution of me, he said that he'd pray for me.  Well, of course I told him that I'd pray for him, too--and I do, daily.  What struck me just now, a couple hours later, is the big difference between the Christian Catholic and the secularist.  The latter would look at this anecdote and think, "Big deal, they cancel each other out."  The Christian would say, "Hallelujah!  The Lord will not only listen to them both but bless each of them for their charity."  I'm sure glad I'm Christian.  Amen.
