In all these years I've tried my humble best to be a low key spiritual director, no one has ever asked me to my face to pray for a family member with illness - or to actually intercede - yet people have stolen (I kid you not) bodily sheddings and fluids and other personal stuff thinking that will work.
And I doubt waving photos of me lip locking with a beau (from long, long LONG time ago) has actually cured anyone either.
