Please pray for Robert George

Prayer matters. So please pray.

The way that prayer works is far beyond us. We can't explain it, and don't claim or promise to. 

The idea of "[X] works" in connection with prayer (as in "[t]the way that prayer 'works'") is a problem. Prayer is not a technique for accomplishing anything. It is a way of opening ourselves to God and God's will, which may or may not be in accord with ours. 

Please, Mirror of Justice community (there is one, though we don't know each other as well as we should): let us join in prayer for Professor Robert George. He has a very serious medical condition
