Friday 20 November

Apocalypse 10:8-11; Psalm 119:129-136; Luke 19:45-48

Habit of prayer

A house of prayer can be a consecrated place where the world expects sacred things like prayer to go on. Our homes can be places of prayer too. We perhaps experienced this during lockdown. Keeping a time for family prayer is easier if adults also pray as individuals both at home and in Church. Children who see parents, or just one parent, praying will come to prayer, perhaps not willingly, but habitually and that is good for both family and parish life. Is my prayer obviously habitual?
