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.
Topping off our worship space is a San Damiano Cross. This is partially because I think it is beautiful, partially because I have long had a devotion to St. Francis of Assisi, and partially because someone gave it to me as a gift. Most days this crucifix and the painting of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (below) are the focus of my prayer life.
