Silence Experiment

Our lives continue to be clouded by noise and busyness (whether it is on screens or in-person). Try this 5-minute silence experiment with a child or alone at any time. This simple practice is also a great way to become still before a spiritual direction appointment or other prayerful conversation.

Mary's Treasure

Art Contemplation is a lovely way to engage our senses and imagination in prayer. I am pleased to share this beautiful art contemplation resource with you. It can be a nice prayer practice to share with a small group or do on your own. Make yourself your favorite holiday drink, light the advent candle, take out your journal and enjoy the silence.

7 Keywords of Pilgrim

Hans-Erik Lindström, a Swedish veteran pilgrim and priest, summarizes the word pilgrimage with seven keywords. Each keyword has also been attributed with a symbol.

Praying with Body

This free digital resource includes four prayer practices that help you to listen to your body with God. Illustrated body outlines (both child and adult) help you to grow in the awareness of the physical sensations of your body and what God might be speaking to you through them. One of the prayer guides combines breath prayer with essential oils.
