All those baptized are called
When we last met I mentioned discipleship and walking along-side others as they journey toward Christ. I brought this up because each of us are called to be potential answers to prayer for someone else. There may be someone in your life that YOU are called to reach. That person might be someone elses prayer project and you could be that answer.
Sometimes it is scary to open ourselves up in this way, to open our spiritual walk up to another but this is what we are all called to do by virtue of our baptism. I have a few resources below to help you, let me know if there is something in particular that may be holding you back that I might be able to help with.

Poem from St. Theresa of Avila
I shared this when we met and thought I would share it here:
Teresa of Avila(1515–1582)
Christ Has No Body
Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
