If we are suffering from anemia, doctors will transfuse blood from another member of society to us to cure us of that anemic condition. If it is possible to transfuse blood, it is possible to transfuse sacrifice. If it is possible to graft skin, it is also possible to graft prayer. In the holy hour, our prayers, our petitions, our adoration will be transferred to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
