An Online Retreat in Everyday Life
If you have no chance to drop out your life for a retreat this thoughtful website gives you some manageable options. The 34 week retreat is perfect for people who want to take time to explore their spirituality alone or with a group, but want a clear program to follow that travels with them and can be fit into quiet time. It would be ideal for an internet prayer circle, or to do with a friend or prayer partner who lives far away. It's an outstanding resource presented by the Collaborative Ministry Office at Creighton University, a Jesuit institution.
Sacred Space
The introduction to this website says: “It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen, 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!” 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. At any of the stages, click on ‘Prayer Guide’ for explanation, guidance and other helps to prayer, from modern Jesuit writers. Clicking 'Amen' on the last stage takes you to an ‘end page’.
