Website offers prayer by proxy for pope's visit to Lourdes


Want to be part of Pope John Paul II's pilgrimage to the French "miracle" town of Lourdes but can't make the trip? A religious website is offering prayer by proxy and long-distance candle lighting. Croire.com (croire means 'to believe' in French) has launched a service for the Internet-savvy faithful -- all e-mail prayers received by Saturday will be taken in hard-copy form to the grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes.
