From the earliest days of Christianity, the family has been called the domestic church. Catholic Household Blessings & Prayers is the perfect family resource for children who are learning the traditional language of prayer from their parents. Young and old alike will gather around this prayer book for many years as their voices in unison repeat the words of prayers and blessings for some of the most important moments in the life of a family such as blessing the Advent wreath each year or learning to recite the Our Father as a family. Handsomely bound in soft leather with a decorative ribbon to mark the time and passage of the year, Catholic Household Blessings & Prayers will rest in a special place in every family's home as a resource to bring solace, celebrate joy, and petition God for His mercy and aid. Makes a great gift for any family.
