How to pray as a family

A simple path to begin tonight — even with ten minutes.

Five steps to begin

Choose a fixed time

After dinner or before bed. Consistency matters more than length.

Prepare a small space

A cross, an image of Mary, a candle: visible signs help children settle.

Name an intention

Mention a person, a joy, or a worry. Prayer then becomes personal.

Pray one decade

One Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be.

End with gratitude

Thank God for one gift received today.
