10 Ways to Pray Online

 

  • 3-Minute Retreat—From Loyola Press, the 3-Minute Retreats invites you to take a short prayer break right at your computer. Spend some quiet time reflecting on a Scripture passage. Knowing that not everyone prays at the same pace, you have control over the pace of the retreat. If you are new to online prayer, the basic timing of the screens will guide you through the experience.

  • Light a Candle—Throughout the world, lighting candles is a sacred ritual. We light a candle for many purposes: to illuminate darkness, dedicate prayers, solidify intentions, offer blessings, evoke Spirit, and/or to nourish grateful living. On this site, you will be guided step-by-step to engage in prayer and light a virtual candle that will stay “lit” for 48 hours. (http://www.gratefulness.org/light-a-candle/)
