Regarding prayer, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton said it best when she said: “We must pray without ceasing, in every occurrence and employment of our lives — that prayer which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to God as in a constant communication with Him.”
Prayer is central to our lives as human beings! Jesus and the saints have constantly encouraged us to “pray without ceasing.”
But how much better is it when we get to pray in a beautiful setting?
We’re lucky here in the Denver metro, never mind in the Archdiocese of Denver, to have so many incredible places to encounter Jesus and to draw near to him.
We put the question out to the faithful of the Archdiocese of Denver not too long ago and boy, were there a lot of great suggestions on where to pray! Check out this list — arranged in no particular order — of some of the best places to pray in the Archdiocese of Denver, from you!
