Does anyone know how to go about this, including which community would undertake this? I know that you can submit prayer intentions to nuns in convents, but I’m talking about something more long term, like requesting them to pray for the intentions daily if possible and continuously.

By the way, this is not my original idea. I heard about this from others, and especially for someone who is very ill and requesting fervent prayers.

simple as you know already; most orders who have web sites have an email address there.

eg

olamshrine.org/prayer-request/

Choose which order you prefer… and the times and duration … this will not be new to them believe me… Tell them the need …and kind too then to keep in touch with progress…many do not do that.
 
I make a small donation to a Carmelite monastery every month. I am sure that the sisters would pray for me without the donation. But I’ve built a closer relationship with the sisters. And usually, I am able to have a more personal prayer request. And they usually give me spiritual encouragement. Mind you, these exchanges are brief. But they are lovely.​

Lisa, if you don’t mind me asking, which one? I know the two monasteries well in NJ; actually it is more accurate to say that I used to know both monasteries well.

If you don’t want to answer in a post, please p.m. me.
