1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember.
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, nurses. Also pray for the leaders of the Church, the pope, bishops, priests, deacons and vowed men and women religious. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our civil leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion,. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is that it is the weakest finger; as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need our prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest of them all. Which is were we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "the least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinky should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed the other four fingers, your needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
