7 Prayer Tools

We recently hosted a contemplative prayer weekend in which my friend, Derek, introduced us to some very ancient prayer methods. I thought I’d compile a quick summary of each of them. There are many more forms of prayer, but these are the ones we utilized in our weekend together.

  1. Sign of the cross
  2. The Jesus Prayer
  3. Centering Prayer
  4. Daily Office
  5. Letter Writing
  6. Examen
  7. Lectio Divina
