We invite you to make a 'Sacred Space' in your day, and spend ten minutes, praying here and now, as you sit at your computer, with the help of on-screen guidance and scripture chosen specially every day. Go to Sacred Space

Weeks of Guided Prayer
What is a week of guided prayer?
Aim of the week of guided Prayer is to offer help and support to the prayer life of a person as they continue to go about their ordinary lives.
The person meets with a prayer guide for a half an hour every day for one week.
The retreatant agrees to spend time each day in personal prayer and scripture reading and then to meet with the prayer guide every day at the same time to share what is going on in their prayer life.
The prayer guide is only there to listen and offer guidance, reassurance and support. If necessary and the retreatant asks for this and then the prayer guide will offer scripture and different ways in which to pray.
Prayer guides will come alongside you on your journey, entering into conversation, faith conversation about your inner prayer life. This tends to bring a deepening and newness in people’s one on one relationship with God.

Can you believe in Creation and Evolution
Our joint education project with the Origins Centre at Wits continues. We have already helped over 500 young people to understand that it is possible to believe in both Creation and Evolution. Encourage your children to ask their teachers to book. For more information contact Ms. Theresa Morgan at Origins on 011 717 4708.
Tsoseletsa is one of the Jesuit Institute's spirituality programmes. It is a group-based parish retreat running two hours every evening for a week. The retreat is based on Ignatian spirituality and adapted to suit African people. The team which runs the retreat is trained in Ignatian spirituality. At present we offer four or five retreats per year.
With the help of a focus-group of experienced African spiritual directors, JISA is exploring the implications of this ministry in the African context.
