Sacred Space is a work of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). The website launched in 1999 and has been providing daily prayer ever since. Sacred Space is now translated into over 15 languages and continues to provide new ways to pray.
Using Sacred Space
It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen or using your smartphone, especially if there are other people around you, or distracting noises. But God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere!
We offer the pages of the site to guide you through a session of prayer, in six stages, including preparing your body and mind, and culminating in reflection on a scripture passage chosen specially for the day. The stages are:
The Presence of God
Freedom
Consciousness
The Word
Conversation
Conclusion
Although they are written in the first person - "I" - the prayers are for doing, rather than for reading out. Each stage is a kind of exercise or meditation aimed at helping you get in touch with God, and God's presence in your life.
