Prayer Resources
As a part of Bishop Ricken's Disciples on the Way mission, which is an invitation to embark on "a journey of deepening our prayer life, of learning to be better disciples," we invite you to grow in prayer and your relationship with Jesus.
This can be as simple as a few minutes of prayer to begin or end the day, or you can grow to reflecting with scripture or other methods for twenty minutes or more. Please know you are always welcome
to visit St. Raphael's during open hours, and pray.
For more information on prayer, download Bishop Ricken's Teach My People to Pray: A Pastoral Reflection.

The button above leads you to a description from the Hallow app. You can definitely try Lectio Divina and other prayers through the Hallow app by taking advantage of a free trial. Otherwise, you can pray Lectio Divina by picking a scripture passage from your own Bible, or praying with the daily readings.
