Catholic Prayer Requests


The power of prayer is an amazing thing and a Catholic prayer request is something that is frequently made during both times of joy and times of trouble. Prayer requests can be made anywhere you are in prayer but many people want to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to submit a Catholic prayer request in person.

Catholic Prayer Requests
 
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. Sometimes it is not possible to physically make that journey to make a Catholic prayer request and this is where the power of the internet can be used.

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. The internet has made it possible to be there even if it is not possible to go there.

Through pictures and even live shots you are able to see the holiest place where Jesus spent time. Whether you are submitting a prayer for a time of joy or a prayer to ask for intercession during times of trouble the internet has made it possible for you to do this at a sacred place.

The next time you have a prayer request consider submitting your prayer through the internet to the church of the holy sepulchre. It is something that you will find to be a very powerful experience.
