孔子病重，子路请求为他祈祷。孔子说：有这样的事吗？子路回答说：有的。诔文上说：为你向天地神灵祈祷。孔子说：我早就已经祈祷很久了。

James Legge Translation

The Master being very sick, Tsze-lu asked leave to pray for him. He said, "May such a thing be done?" Tsze-lu replied, "It may. In the Eulogies it is said, 'Prayer has been made for thee to the spirits of the upper and lower worlds.'" The Master said, "My praying has been for a long time."
