The power of prayer does not flow from us; it is not special words we say or the special way we say them or even how often we say them. The power of prayer is not based on a certain direction we face or a certain position of our bodies. The power of prayer does not come from the use of artifacts or icons or candles or beads. The power of prayer comes from the omnipotent One who hears our prayers and answers them. Prayer places us in contact with Almighty God, and we should expect almighty results, whether or not He chooses to grant our petitions or deny our requests. Whatever the answer to our prayers, the God to whom we pray is the source of the power of prayer, and He can and will answer us, according to His perfect will and timing. [1], [2]

[2] To these eloquent words of truth, this blogger would like to add that it does not matter what one prays for, from saving a loved one from death or something as mundane as finding a parking space nearby; nor does it matter whether one prays to God or to Mary, the Mother of God, to intercede on one's own behalf or on behalf of a loved one.
