Intercession: Ask for prayer. Pray for others. Always free. Some days you carry something too heavy to carry alone. Intercession is a place to ask others to pray for you, and to pray for people who need it, one rosary, one decade, one intention at a time. Post an intention anonymously or by first name. Others in the community lift it up in prayer. When someone prays for you, you'll know, quietly, without the noise. No follower counts. No performance. No bragging about your life. Just people helping each other turn toward God. How it works Share an intention, anonymously or by first name only Pray a rosary or a single decade for someone who asked Be gently notified when others are praying for you A calm, focused space built for prayer, not for scrolling Built with care Every intention is reviewed to keep this a safe, respectful place Sensitive requests are handled thoughtfully and with compassion Your privacy is protected, and you're never required to reveal who you are Free, and staying free Prayer should never be behind a paywall. Asking for prayer and praying for others is completely free, forever. Intercession is sustained by the generosity of those who believe in keeping it that way, never by charging you to pray. Come and pray. Come and be prayed for.
