Description
Sacred Space is inspired by the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a sixteenth-century Basque, whose insights into God's working with the human heart have been of great assistance to countless people over the centuries and are found more helpful than ever today.
Sacred Space is a work of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). The website launched in 1999 and has been providing daily prayer ever since. Sacred Space is now translated into over 15 languages and continues to provide new ways to pray.
Using Sacred Space
It might seem strange to pray at your computer, in front of a screen or using your smartphone, especially if there are other people around you, or distracting noises. But God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere!
We offer the pages of the site to guide you through a session of prayer, in six stages, including preparing your body and mind, and culminating in reflection on a scripture passage chosen specially for the day. The stages are:
The Presence of God
Freedom
Consciousness
The Word
Conversation
Conclusion
Although they are written in the first person - "I" - the prayers are for doing, rather than for reading out. Each stage is a kind of exercise or meditation aimed at helping you get in touch with God, and God's presence in your life.

Ratings and Reviews
An amazing supportive resource that brings you closer to God each day.
I love the Sacred space app. I’ve been using it for many years now. The daily guided prayer and Bible readings help me create a closer relationship with God, the father and our Lord Jesus Christ, the son. I have learned so much over the years , about myself, about the Lord and about the world. Basically about how to be in this world and how to liv a better life. The app has provided comfort and strength throughout. Knowing that the Lord is always there and so I’m never alone, has helped me through some though times and given me the strength to make difficult decisions.
Essential Companion
I find Sacred Space a constant and valuable companion. It offers a new experience of living, as - without pressure or judgment - I am led closer into the presence of God- and this is entirely real.
It isn’t ‘religious’, or ‘pious’, it is a door into a new landscape through which, in a most natural exchange, a different way of being alive is offered and accepted.
Thank you to those unseen companions.
Wonderful but flawed?
Well, in almost every way this is a wonderful app. But, alas, for me it simply will not update. I get one week’s worth of prayers - tremendously inspiring and fulfilling - and that is it. I then have to delete the app and reinstall each time to get another week. Perhaps it is a training in suffering, patience and perseverance? Perhaps it is a suggestion of a theme for prayer? Perhaps it is just me and I have missed something on the app? But if it is the app, I cannot give it the five stars it so richly deserves.
