a man's daughter asked the priest to come to his house to say a prayer for his father who was very sick.
When the priest came to the sick room, he found this man in bed with your head up for a couple of pillows. There was a chair beside his bed, so that the priest thought the man knew it would come to him;
"I guess I was expecting," he said.
"No, who are you?" Said the man.
"I'm the priest that her daughter called to pray with you, when I saw the empty chair beside his bed, I figured you knew I would come to visit."
"Ah yes, the chair" said the sick man, mind closing the door? ".
surprised The priest closed it.
" I never told anyone this, but my life has been spent without knowing how pray. When I was in the Church have always heard
for prayer, to be praying and the benefits it brings ... but always that of the prayers I went in one ear and out
the other, I have no idea how. "So long ago gave up completely to prayer." This has been true me until about four years ago, when talking with my best friend told me, Joseph, that the sentence is just having a conversation with Jesus. this is how I suggest you do:
you sit in a chair and you put an empty chair in front of you, then with faith towards Jesus sitting in front of you. It is not something crazy to do so because He told us: "I am with you always." -
Therefore, you talk and listen, just how you're doing with me now ".-
" so I did it once and I liked it so much that I continued to about two hours a day since. "I have always very careful not I go see my daughter .... internaría me immediately because the asylum."
The priest was a thrill to hear this and told Joseph that was very good what he had been doing, and not stop.
then said a prayer with him, handed him a blessing and went to his parish.
Two days later, the daughter of Joseph called the priest to tell him his father had died.
The priest asked: "Died in Peace?"
"Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock in the afternoon I called and went to see him in his bed, told me how much he loved me and gave me a kiss."
"When I returned from shopping about an hour later and found him dead."
"But there is something strange about his death, apparently because he died just before he approached the chair that was next to her bed and rested his head on it, because they found . 'What do you think can mean? "
The priest wiped away tears of emotion s and replied:" I wish we could we all go that way ... "
