Make a Sacred Space in your day, and spend ten minutes, praying here and now, as you sit at your computer, with the help of on-screen guidance and scripture chosen specially every day. This site is produced by two Jesuits in Dublin, Ireland. It has logged well over a half million hits since its inception Ash Wednesday 1999, close to 4,000 per day. Sacred Space addresses the three major difficulties many contemporary men and women have with prayer: they don't have the time, don't know where to begin, and the kinds of formula prayers they were most familiar with as children now seem inappropriate for them as adults. The site has no ads, clutter, or cookies. It is about getting in touch with the presence of God in your life in the privacy and intimacy that you have in front of your computer.
Charismatic Prayer – San Francisco Archdiocese Catholic
Charismatic Renewal
"Today, millions of Catholics in more than 115 countries are involved in the Catholic Charismatic
Renewal. What accounts for this dramatic growth? Those involved in the Renewal say that God has touched
them in some profound way, releasing the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
The goal of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is to serve the mission of the Church by enabling people
to live a renewed and Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit. Every Christian is called to be
charismatic – that is, to be equipped with gifts of service for the good of the Church. (1Cor.12)
Contemplative Outreach is the home page of Fr. Thomas Keating, who made Centering Prayer popular. Centering Prayer is a method of prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of God's presence, traditionally called contemplative prayer. It consists of responding to the Spirit of Christ by consenting to God's presence and action within. It furthers the development of contemplative prayer by quieting our faculties to cooperate with the gift of God's presence. Centering Prayer is drawn from ancient prayer practices of the Christian contemplative heritage, notably the Fathers and Mothers of the Desert, Lectio Divina (praying the scriptures), the Cloud of Unknowing, St. John of the Cross, and St. Terese of Avila.
Taizé is an ecumenical, international community founded in 1940 in Taizé, France by Brother Roger. Reconciliation between Christians is at the heart of Taizé's vocation; however, this has never been seen as an end in itself. Instead it is hoped that Christians will be a leaven of reconciliation between people, of trust among nations, and of peace on earth.
On the Catholic Pages site, please join with the world-wide community in saying an ongoing rosary.
