A few days ago it was the Memorial of St. John of the Cross. I read an excellent article about how one can pray as an intercessor according to insights he received.
1. Believe that God knows what is best for us, better than we do.
2. To see our needs and the needs of others, and to prayerfully hold those needs before God. Let us name these needs but simply indicate the lack and leave the rest to Jesus. Read the Wedding Feast at Cana in John 2:1-11 for a perfect example. All Mary says is, they have no wine (indicate the lack) and, do whatever he tells you (leave the rest to Jesus.)
3. Patiently wait with Mary for God to act on his terms, and in his time, in a way that all the glory belongs to Him and leads us to joyful praise.
If you want to read the original, and much more eloquent article, you may find it HERE.
