Sacred Space: The Prayerbook 2025 The Irish Jesuits | Messenger Publications

A familiar and popular companion guide that readers welcome each Autumn.

Every day is rich with possibilities. Yet modern life is busy and can be stressful. It can be challenging to incorporate a prayerful rhythm into our day, to help us find guidance and insight in everyday life.

Sacred Space, both as a book and a website, is a kind of ‘anam cara’ or soul friend. It journeys with us and helps us to slow down, pay attention and find the greatest anam cara of all – God.

Through Sacred Space, the Irish Jesuits have brought the daily practice of prayer in the Ignatian tradition to people all over the world, across twenty different languages. Here, in Sacred Space: The Prayerbook, all the tools of Sacred Space are gathered in one place.

Each day of The Prayerbook includes a Scripture reading with points for reflection, as well as a weekly topic enhanced by six steps of prayer.
