Where Two or Three Agree: Common Prayer at Orthodox House

Imagine gathering with fellow believers across the globe, lifting a single prayer to the Lord at the very same hour. This ancient practice, rooted in Christ’s promise in Matthew 18:19—"Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them"—is alive and vibrant at Orthodox House Social through our "Prayer by Agreement" feature. Currently, nearly a dozen groups are already weaving this sacred thread of communion, with three devoted souls joining the global "Universal Prayer for Peace" tonight at 21:00 UTC. This is your moment to join.

Each group maintains a living list of names—those struggling with illness, those who have departed, and all for whom we lift supplication. Members receive a gentle reminder shortly before the appointed hour, inviting them to pause, gather their hearts, and join the chorus of faith. You need not be alone in your petitions; your parish, your diocese, or even a small circle of friends can form their own prayer chain. Simply create a group, invite others, and let your shared petition become a beacon of hope. The Lord is present where we gather in His name, and through this simple, ancient practice, we become one body in prayer. Come, find your place in this growing circle. Let your voice join the chorus. Visit the Prayers section today to discover the groups already praying and to begin your own journey of shared supplication. May our united prayers bring peace to the world and comfort to every heart.
