Sacred Space - This month's feedback: "So there you are: you're ready for a break at your PC, you'd really appreciate just ten minutes thinking about something else, and you really don't want to spend another thirty quid at Amazon, so what do you do? You look over your shoulder to make sure the boss isn't watching, and you type in an address: www.jesuit.ie/prayer. Yes that's right - Jesuit. Now don't panic! You won't get a Cardinal on your doorstep the following morning selling indulgences, or receive threatening phone messages from the Archbishop of Canterbury. IT'S OK. THIS IS ECUMENICAL. In fact, Sacred Space's feedback page is proof of how beautifully ecumenical it is: people email in from all over the world and from every christian persuasion, testifying as to how much the site has helped them. So what do you get? You get an attractively packaged, easy-to-follow, clearly explained session of guided prayer that has been put together according to the recommendations of an interesting chap from sixteenth-century Spain called Ignatius, who, far from being a member of the Spanish Inquisition, was actually one of its victims. The Jesuits are his official fan club. This website has been put together by his Irish aficionados in Dublin, who have translated it into umpteen (that's a precise estimate) languages, and provide links to other similar websites. I won't say any more about it other than to recommend you check it out...
Chester, England"
