One who killed by accident and ended up in the Ir Miklat (city of refuge) was only able to leave after the Kohain Gadol (High Priest) passed away. The Gemara/Talmud (Makkos 9b) teaches us that the Kohains mother would supply the refugees with food so that they shouldnt daven/pray that her son, the Kohain Gadol, should die. Rav Meir Chodosh points out that from this we can see the power of prayer, that we have a real concern of the ability of the prayers, even of someone who accidentally killed another person. #PrayForPeace
