We have Saint Benedict medals hung at the front and back doors of our home, as well as a crucifix in every bedroom and door. There is a holy water font in every bedroom and one next to the front door as well.

We have a Shrine with Our Lady of Grace which is a gathering place for prayer time. This is also where we keep our statues of saints.

I have a large statue of Mary in my boys' room - the same statue I had in my room as a little girl. I have prayers that my children have written (copywork) posted as well as holy cards and patron saints. I also have a large painting of The Blessed Craftysopranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962682257059802648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964993388722770001.post-45657686472245170052009-08-13T15:02:30.257-04:002009-08-13T15:02:30.257-04:00Laura, Regina, Jennifer, and Donna Marie,

We did have a crucifix, though. In the past year I've added a wonderful prayer shelf which holds our rosaries and holy cards. My husband gave me a picture of the Angelus which hangs in my kitchen, and my latest purchase is a beautiful and large picture of Jesus holding the Sacred Party of Elevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963978416744569348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964993388722770001.post-86992989705480569852009-08-11T18:15:17.499-04:002009-08-11T18:15:17.499-04:00Ah, yes!
