A World of Prayer

During Lent, Christians are called to spend more time in prayer, meditation and reflection.  I was never taught to pray as a child.  Now, I find that I cannot do without it!

During Lent, I have added a new feature to this space, called Prayer Requests. To send a Prayer Request, scroll down to the bottom of your screen and follow the instructions in the text. [I have asked for first names or initials only. You may also specify your country location].

This is an experiment, during Lent only. But if it is successful, this feature will continue.

Prayers labeled "Public" will be eligible to be published on a periodic basis in future postings! In this way, the Spiritual Devotional community can pray for each other.

If volume of requests warrants, I will arrange to have prayer requests sent to a monastery, or other religious community.

Event Note:  March 2, 2012 is World Day of Prayer!  The program this year is being set by the women of Malaysia. The theme is "Let Justice Prevail". Check out the website at worlddayof prayer.net for more information, or Google "World Day Of Prayer International Committee".

Please check in your community for a World Day of Prayer event.  If there is no formal event in your area, I would love to imagine you spending a quiet moment in prayer that day, either in solitude or in community with others!

Prayers and blessings,

The Spiritual Devotional
