In John O'Donohue's "Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom," he expresses the idea that feeling and recognizing love should inspire gratitude and prayer. When love awakens within us, it's essential to acknowledge this blessing and to use that positive energy to reach out to those in need. Loving someone deeply allows us to extend that warmth outward, touching others who may be suffering or feeling isolated.

This practice of sending love into the world acts as a powerful form of prayer, connecting us with those who are damaged or unloved. By sharing our love, we contribute to a collective healing, offering hope and support to those facing difficulties, such as hunger, imprisonment, or illness, thus reinforcing the profound impact that love can have on our surroundings.
