EWTN Catholic Q&A

Praying for others
Question from Andy on 09-20-2012:

Dear Dr. Geraghty: I know we must pray for others, but if one deliberately chooses to live in mortal sin when they know better, does praying for them help them. Thank you very much.

Answer by Richard Geraghty on 10-21-2012:

Dear Andy,

Praying for them certainly helps them. Payer helps all sinners.
