PRAYER GROTTOS


There are several types of prayer grottos. Some are like small huts, some are bigger grottos complete with floor heater to keep yourself warm during cold winter (you need a passport to get a key to access one). Some are built into the side of a hill (we jokingly call that the "tomb" grotto).

Once you are inside a grotto and close the door, you could then focus and pray for an hour. During my early morning grotto times, I have heard prayers that lasted whole morning. When I went for lunch and came back, the person was still praying and it continued on for the whole day. During the whole time, the person was crying out aloud and pleading to the Lord. I was deeply moved by the intensity and the persistent long prayer.


"During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission."
Hebrews 5:7
