Augustine of Hippo, on Heb 13:18

“Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.”

“We have mutual need of one another's prayers, for those reciprocal prayers are enkindled by charity and—like a sacrifice offered on the altar of piety—are fragrant and pleasing to the Lord. If the apostles used to ask for prayers on their own behalf, how much more does it behoove me to do so?”
