I recently learned that nuns take prayer requests online. I had expected that cloistered nuns who have cut themselves from the outside world would not maintain a website for purposes other than recruiting vocations. Even then, I expected their websites to have not received an update since Bill Clinton was in office, but the websites look like they are regularly maintained. In order to get the word out about these great tools for uniting the Body of Christ in prayer, I have compiled a list of websites where one can request prayers from religious communities. I have also included links where one can donate to these communities.
