How to foster a praying environment in our homes

Lois Heron is back for another episode to talk with us about ways we can foster a prayerful environment in our home--our Domestic Church. We share ideas on practical ways we can draw the family in, including "Hushing the Home." Lois’ Stand In The Gap Initiative provides a daily prayer guide to pray a collection of prayers adapted from scripture and the prayers of the Church to personalize as you pray for your loved ones in your life, and resources to deepen your prayer life. You will receive occasional updates with new prayers and resources.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in completion; through Christ our Lord. Amen. —St. Thomas Aquinas-Children's bibles--coming soon!!
