But does it come with a guarantee of answered prayer?
(via)It's a gift that keeps on giving.
You can adopt a nun to pray for you for an entire year!
And the money you pay goes to a good cause.
When the Salesian Sisters needed to raise money to care for their aging nuns, Sister Mary Rinaldi realized they could charge folks a small sum for work they were already doing
"We could offer our prayer and our support and our friendship and that solidarity with them and that's how the adopt a sister program began."
At first, the program raised $5 million to build this retirement home in North Haledon, New Jersey.
Now, over a decade later and 3,000 participants strong, Adopt-a-Nun continues to pay the bills for the elder nuns, and reaches farther than they expected.
"We have encountered a huge population of people who are hungry for God and for the spiritual, and it's not only Catholic persons or Christians who are adopting a sister, from the Jewish population, we have wonderful human beings that are part of the program and very integral."

But Rosesanne James is convinced that her nuns do more than keep her in the fold
"It's a direct line to God and it's cheaper than any phone call."

And, they make great gifts.
"Can't have enough nuns and I give them for birthday presents, Christmas presents...it's better than a scarf."

BTW, Christians don't have to pay someone to make intercession for them since Christ lives to make intercession for those who draw near:
Hebrews 7:25Consequently ,he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him ,since he always lives to make intercession for them .
1 Timothy 2:5For there is one God ,and there is one mediator between God and men ,the man [1]Christ Jesus
