Keep Praying as You Go
By the beginning of Holy Week, over 150,000 prayer sessions had been downloaded from Pray As You Go, a website set up on a trial basis by the British Jesuits. These ten minute daily prayer sessions are Ignatian in approach and can be downloaded in a variety of formats, so you can use your MP3 player to pray discreetly on the way to work. The trial has been extended from Lent to the end of the Easter season.
