Very often during the week I go to daily Mass. It’s a pretty big parish so every day are attending 60-70 parishioners and I know personally some of them. It’s about a month that every time I am at Mass I always feel a sudden need to pray specifically for one of the person there and to talk with that person. I don’t want to be considered weird or inopportune; I don’t know anything about that person so I just I prayed for but never talked with. But everyday I have this strange “suggestion” that I need to pray and contact that person. Anybody had a similar experience? I definitely will keep praying but should I tactfully contact that person?
 
Just to clarify, do you feel this “suggestion” about the same person every time?

I’m trying to think about how I would feel if a random person came up to me and said, “Hi! I’m praying for you!” I might feel a little awkward. 🙂 However it might be nice if you introduced yourself to them and said something like, “Hey, I come to Mass here daily and keep seeing you here. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I’m praying for you.”
 
Yes, always about the same person. I know it’s weird, that’s way I want to have an “external” opinion. I was thinking to say something simple without a mention about praying for that person.

Yes, the lady at the seafood restaurant. I always felt the need to pray for her, but I didn’t know why. Once time I mentioned it to her when I went through the drive through. She said she was having difficulty with her dialysis and appreciated me praying for her. She has since stopped working because of her illness, but I still pray for her.
 
Yes, that’s the Holy Spirit talking to you.

The other week I got told by the Spirit to go and introduce myself to a particular person. I had already left church and I went back in and he was still praying. I waited and introduced myself as he was leaving and he had been crying. I introduced myself and we said we would catch up for a chat a different week because he was having a difficult time at the moment. Afterwards I felt great that I had done what the Holy Spirit told me to do. The more you do what he tells you the more he will use you. Once I didn’t do what he said and he didn’t speak to me again like that for a long time.

I felt good that I might be able to help this guy but the next time I saw him I saw God resting upon him and realised that he would help me not the other way around.

Go for it in the Spirit.
