Spirit Prayers: Praying Through the Pandemic and Social Unrest Volume 2

Dr. Devoree Clifton Crist is a spiritual director, retired physician, wife and mother living in St. Louis, Missouri. She holds a Master in Theological Studies from Eden Theological Seminary and a Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Aquinas Institute of Theology. She received her doctorate degree from Washington University School of Medicine, all in St Louis. She believes that our ever-present God meets each of us wherever we are and lovingly guides us to be our best selves. During this time of the coronavirus her retreat ministry has halted, but, in its place, a very rich and fruitful group spiritual direction ministry has emerged. The pandemic has allowed for new and exciting creativity in virtual worship liturgy, music, painting, and interpersonal interactions. Writing prayers has been life-giving.
