Synopsis

Praying for each other, or intercessory prayer, can deepen our connection to the Divine Presence and help bring healing to individuals and our communities. Marcelle Martin offers a personal account of her discovery of and experiences with intercessory prayer and describes the many forms it takes among Friends today, from interpersonal prayer support to meetings for healing to a prayerful witness for peace on earth. Calling readers to “hold one another in the Light,” she declares: “Intercessory prayer in all its variations supports those we love, helps our meetings to be spiritually vital, and contributes to making manifest God’s healing and transforming presence on earth.”
