Upon occasion, we have the privilege and honor to sit with the dying, to accompany death as she visits and extinguishes the flame of life afore us.

More Prayer Stations for Election Day

November 4, 2022 By Victoria Hoppes Leave a Comment

As the United States nears the 2022 midterms, I decided to create a new set of prayer stations to be used during this election season. These stations provide people with tangible ways to pray for our communities and leaders as we continue to navigate how to interact with each other in politically divided times.

The Ignatian Examen: A Prayer for Overwhelmed Parents and Ordinary Days

August 29, 2022 By Margaret Ellsworth 2 Comments

There are seasons of parenting which also feel long and green, when the days and moments blend together in one continuous stream. During one such season for me, when I was a stay-at-home parent, I found help in a prayer practice made for ordinary days: the Ignatian Examen.
