is a daily prayer session, designed to go with you wherever you go, to help you pray whenever you find time, but particularly whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc.

A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. It is not a 'Thought for the Day"", a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.

Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.

It is available in ten languages

Praying with Scripture: Lectio Divina

A slow, contemplative praying with scripture which has long been used in the monastic tradition. It invites God to speak into our life through scripture and for us to respond. Bear in mind that each person will engage with the God through the text in their own way. There is no right or wrong way! Don’t worry if nothing gets your attention when reading the passage at first: just rest and listen to God’s word.

St Ignatius was convinced that God could be found in every area of life, meaning that everything, from relationships to family, from happiness to suffering - everything - is a part of the spiritual life.
