Sister Mary Agnes

The Story of this Book of Life...

In the 1980s, Sister Mary Agnes, a Cloistered Carmelite nun, created the world’s first interfaith web-site prayer network for persons in serious need. Each time a name was submitted, she connected with a variety of healing sites and communities of prayer around the world. Mary Agnes was grateful for the remarkable reports regarding the relief of spiritual suffering. In 1997, Sister died and willed her project to Sacred Art of Living. The “Book of Life” now resides at the Center’s St. Raphael Chapel and has received more than ten thousand requests from around the world.

The Sacred Art of Living Center continues this tradition and has expanded the number of prayer sites literally around the globe, representing many faith traditions. These names are held in prayerful reverence with continuous prayer every Thursday at St. Raphael Chapel in the Sacred Art of Living Center. This book is also an integral part of Sacred Art of Living Center programs.

St. Raphael Chapel

The focus of our remembrance in prayer
is for the special needs of the sick
especially the terminally ill
and their family
and caregivers
and those who are grieving.
