Creating Your Family Prayer Table

A Prayer Table:

• Is a place to put small items that are special to us and remind us of God’s love
• Reminds us that Jesus is always with us, sharing in our family life
• Helps us to pray, even if it is just for a few minutes a day

Ideas for your own table:

• Position the table/use a shelf in a prominent place in your house;Somewhere you are going to see it regularly
  
• You may not have much to put on it to begin with but you can gather new ideas as the year goes on
  
• Your table can be simple or elaborate, with flowers on or just a plain shelf.... Do whatever suits your family and home….but try to keep it for special things only!
  
• Some things that you might put on your table are a crucifix, a statue of Mary, a rosary, a candle, a photo of your family, a Bible.

The first thing you could put on your family prayer table is your tour of the church booklet and your new book of Prayers.

I wonder how many of the prayers you and your family know already?
