I read a prayer for redeeming lost time the other day and I’ve been wondering this ever since.

Being that God is outside of time, if I prayed for something that happened a long time ago what would the effect be? For example, if I prayed that Peter be given strength on his way to being martyred, would Peter then be granted strength from my prayer now?

Yep.

Wow, had to read this several times—I never heard of this! I mean this is just a thought: but God is outside of time—the actions of Peter *weren’t * outside of time. That doesn’t seem to be possible…???I don’t know----someone will enlighten me, I bet:)

maybe it is a prayer to sanctify our wasted time??? I would like to know that prayer, I NEED a prayer like that—I waste too much time. :o
 
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is an excellent prayer for someone who is dying and ALSO who have already died. God can grant the mercy requested that at the moment of death the person repented.

I think that is pretty awesome…another reasons Catholics have to continue to pray for the dead.
 
You can pray equally for the past as you can for the present and the future. You can ask that from an awful situation in the past great good can come from it, you can ask God to bless and help people you hear of after an event has taken place. You can also offer your past from your conception in the womb to God as the Living Prayer of you life united to Christ Jesus upon the Cross.

Time only restricts the physical and then only to a certain extent, time does not restrict the spiritual.God can bend the skies and bend time as He suits. In revelations it says God will shorten the days, does that mean shorten the physical day or does that mean the perception of how long a day is. I believe it means the perception. Time is perceived, it is of course a reality that is perceived but when you are young time drags and when you are old times flies, when you suffer time drags and when you are having a right good old time then time flies; this is perception of the passing of time.

Time is relative.

There is actually no such thing as time in eternity as all things are in the ‘eternal moment’. All things converging simultaneously in that eternal moment. This gives clues to the ‘vastness’ of eternity because our human mind cannot perceive the eternal as it is but understand it as something that does not have an end nor a beginning and so time does not apply.

An example of this is when we take our past (even just an hour prior to confession if we sin then) to confession and the Eternal Salvific event of Calvary in Christ Jesus heals, forgives and absolves the past recreating the present, the future, the physical and the spiritual in Christ Jesus.

In the Living Prayer of my life
 
After having had a good friend pray for my past, and feeling a lot of renewal and hope from that, I had that thought too, that since God is outside of time, my prayers could help for things that happened a long time ago. So, when I pray the sorrowful mysteries, I always pray that Jesus could feel my love for him from the agony in the garden all the way to his crucifixion. I try to picture being there with him and giving him comfort physically. I always hope maybe prayers like that could give him some little tiny bit of consolation.
 
Who can control time on earth, only God? Has anyone ever been outside of time, in spirit or prayer?Thanks, Tim
