In a previous post I started to show our home altar. This is the place that we go when we want some alone time to pray, and where we take the family if we want to make the moment more holy. Is this a necessity? No, but as we make a conscious effort to more fully live our faith it is nice to have a special place to go to when you have the urge to pray.
When we first bought our house a few years ago, one of the things I wanted to set up is a home altar. In my mind I was imagining something along the lines of the Gothic Revival piece below.
Today is the Feast of St. Martin of Tours, a traditional day of transition. In the Middle Ages this was the time for women to move their work indoors, and men from the field to the forest. I feel that I am moving into a proverbial wood as I start this blog. What a great day to start something new!
