". . . golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints . . ." --- Revelation 5:8
The many prayers they lifted up while still alive
are incensed at Savior's altar, where they thrive
until their answer. Our Lord, Jesus never spurns
a faithfil, though deceased, believer's prayer concerns.

Author's Notes/Comments:
Presumably, only in this way do the dead pray for us; and the prayers they have set into motion, in life, continue to oscillate, until answered, after their death. I believe my own salvation experience may have been brought about this way, through the prayers of a devout Christian relative who, in fact, passed away almost seventeen years before I became a Christian.
