Ang Peregrino Recommends 26: Pray As You Go

Pray As You Go
URL: http://​www​.pray​-as​-you​-go​.org/

This post is for my mom who is one of the reg­u­lar read­ers of this blog. Pray-as-You-Go is a really cool web­site for those who want to pray but do not have the time, or those who are in need of a spir­i­tual break, reli­gious fix or devo­tional ener­gizer (whew!) in the mid­dle of a busy day.

It is by Jesuit Media Ini­tia­tives, which is like the British ver­sion of our JesCom here.

In the mid­dle of a busy day, you can just strap your ear­phones, close your eyes, and link to (or down­load) the 10–15 minute wma (for those using win­dows) or mp3 (for every­one else). The file is usu­ally com­posed of good clas­si­cal or reli­gious music, a read­ing for the day, and a guided reflec­tion after­wards. You can also down­load a 4 minute guide for a centering/breathing exer­cise to start your prayer time, and an 8 minute review of the day that Jesuits call the exa­men.

I like it because it is canned, ready-made prayer and I do not have to think about prepa­ra­tions (although prepar­ing is a good thing also when i’m not too busy). But Pray-As-You-Go is really a ser­vice for busy people.

For the great ser­vice made for busy work­ing peo­ple like me, for the sim­ple but provoca­tive reflec­tions, and for remind­ing me that all it takes is around 15 min­utes a day to get back my cen­ter, Ang Pere­grino Rec­om­mends Pray-As-You-Go this week.
