The church of the holy sepulchre is where many prayer requests are made and it is common to write a prayer request and physically place it in the holy wall.

You will have the opportunity to write your prayer and have it read by a Holy Nun at the church. Your Catholic prayer request will be placed on the Stone of Anointing and photographed for you to see and you will be sent a certificate of authenticity that your Catholic prayer request was placed in the holy wall. You can also have a candle lit as well if this is something that you wish to do.

There are many reasons why someone might want to submit a Catholic prayer request through the internet. Jerusalem is considered to be the holiest place in the world and as such many people believe that if they are praying there it puts them closer to God.
