What is a Prayer Triplet?
A prayer triplet is as it sounds: a group of three people who meet on a regular basis to pray. (It’s also possible to meet with four people; e.g. a group of four friends, or perhaps two couples.)
The inspiration behind prayer triplets derived from words of Jesus:

Hosanna in the highest!
