One prayer among many


ONE PRAYER AMONG MANY
Reflection by Marissa Danney
Chaplain, Ghost Ranch

ABIQUIU, NEW MEXICO, USA. A prayer canvas was begun by youth at the Ghost Ranch Conference Center in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
The youth participating in Youth Programming at Ghost Ranch began a prayer canvas as they dedicated an evening to prayer and creativity.
Ranging from age 5 to 19, the youth crouched on the floor, writing and painting. Most seemed to appreciate the privacy that painting over their prayer offered, while also joining their prayer among the many other prayers already represented.
Though this prayer canvas will not travel away from Ghost Ranch, it will be added to by the many youth who travel to Ghost Ranch each week and each year.
