There’s a story about St Francis that I love and that I’ve thought about a lot over the years. There was a priest who had a mistress and someone from the town he lived in asked Francis about whether the sacraments he offered were valid. Francis said that he would have no trepidation about taking communion from the priest at all. To me, that says something huge about God’s love, that even when we are far from Him He’s still loving through us. I’m thinking about this right now especially because I’ve felt called to be an intercessor and I’m stumbling over it, around it, in it and just generally falling over myself. That God would still take my prayers, imperfect and small and broken and distracted as they are, and consider them love for another is amazing to me. I am small and broken and distracted; He is not. I don’t know why He’s led me to do this work but I’m in awe of His love for all of us and that He desires intensely that we participate in His love through prayer. So, if you’re stumbling over intercession, avail yourself of confession and keep praying.
