Frequently Asked Questions

Personalisation options

Customisation of the prayer is possible with user registration. To access personalisation options click on the cogwheel or click here and register for an account. The background and fade speed of the pages can be changed and the font size of the text can be adjusted. There is a music option which can be turned on or off. Sometimes we experience there is a varying degree of responsiveness with the music between browsers and the music doesn't play automatically on mobile devices unless switched on using the pause/play button at the bottom of the screen.

Printing the prayer

To access the print version of our site from the home page, there are two options:

(I) Select the print icon beside the required date

(II) Once you begin the prayer, select the print icon on the right hand menu

Living Space

The Living Space section of the site is available here. This work was completed by Fr. Frank Doyle SJ who has since died, hence this content is no longer updated. It is possible to view and search the Living Space archive to reference any of the collection of commentaries on the scripture readings and the saints. The archive is searchable by Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John); by Sunday of the Year; or by Saint by Month. It is also possible to use the search box to search for any particular commentary or reference.

Novenas

Three novenas are currently available

Retreats

Each year we offer two reflective retreats, one for Advent and one for Lent, in collaboration with Pray as you go. A link to the retreat is provided at the relevant time on the Sacred Space homepage.

Prayer with the Pope

Each month the Pope entrusts two prayer intentions to his Worldwide Prayer Network, the Apostleship of Prayer. These intentions, which express the Pope's concern for humanity and the mission of the Church, are made available along with a monthly reflection on the Prayer with the Pope page.
