Meet the Prayerline
"Hello," says Br. Paul Brandt, picking up a ringing phone. "This is Br. Paul. May I have your prayer intention?"
It's a question you hear emanating nearly non-stop from the rows of cubicles in the Divine Mercy Intercessory Prayerline's office, headquartered at the Marian Helpers Center here in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, home of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy.
The intercessors are grateful just knowing that they can serve others and be 'foot washers,' like Jesus did of old, and this is what they find most rewarding.
Who are the people who administer the Divine Mercy Intercessory Prayerline? Like Br. Paul, they are people who have responded to the call of God and who have been graced by the charism of intercessory prayer, so desperately needed at this time in our history.
The intercessors don't offer counseling. They listen. They pray with callers, and they pray for callers and those who send their petitions via mail or electronically. Then, the intercessors pray for each intention in Our Lady of Mercy Oratory, located adjacent to the ministry's office.
The intercessors pray for all intentions during their daily Holy Hour. The intentions are also remembered at two daily Masses, the 3 p.m. Hour of Great Mercy and in the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy.
