PRAYcations
Want more than just a normal sight-seeing vacation?
At Divine Sunshine Travel, we love curating pilgrimages to holy sites, coordinating retreat cruises, and constructing specialized itineraries to combine a grandiose vacation to anywhere with a contemplative retreat!
How? An actual retreat with in-person talks on location is one option (especially a cruise or traditional holy site). However, perfectly curated prayers, meditations, and Bible verses with which you can pray at monuments, historic sites or other attractions is one way to get MORE out of any destination and turn your VAcation into a PRAYcation!
Where?
Anywhere!
Divine Sunshine Travel initiates and organizes itineraries periodically (check website for more info) but loves to elevate any vacation location into a PRAYcation!
Going to Rome? Why not pray for the poor souls who died in the Colosseum while visiting? Ponder a time when you had to be brave. Picture Jesus walking through the Forum. Lay your eyes on the very place Peter was in chains and connect these sites with your own faith journey.
Going to Paris? Reflect on the Eifel tower and your journey to heaven as you ascend the 81 stories. Imagine your life is the Eifel tower and the top is Heaven? How can you get closer to Our Lord?
These reflections will not take away from your sight-seeing experience (or even take much time) but will certainly add to it... You will walk away with more than just great pictures and what you experience with your senses, but also with a deeper unity with God and even, perhaps, a deeper connection with yourself... something no photo could ever capture!
"You will walk away with more than just great pictures... but also with a deeper unity with God... something no photo could ever capture!"
Who?
Friends, family, church communities, classmates, and other compatible company make memories that last!
A PRAYcation can be an individual longing for a deeply spiritual experience, or a family wanting to integrate faith-filled experiences in an otherwise not outwardly religious site/city, or even a whole group of pilgrims that don't want to just SEE a holy place but BECOME holier while visiting.
"A PRAYcation... a whole group of pilgrims that don't want to just SEE a holy place but BECOME holier while visiting."
