There is a pious story in our country [Romania] about John the Apostle. He was praying a long time for a thief who lived somewhere in Asia, very far from him. He had heard about him. There was a thief who was robbing the caravans, and he felt very guilty about this. So he started to pray for him, because he said that every neighbor of mine who commits sin in crime is part of me. Thus he decided to pray for him. Through his prayers this thief was converted. He did not know that John was praying from him, but the prayer worked. There are no bars for prayer.
