It is really hard to start or to decide a daily devotion of having a family prayer like doing it together because of the busy schedule and different priorities as well. But it is important to start a routine. How?
- Make your prayer short and simple.
- Use some ready-made devotional prayer. Those are materials that you can buy or copy from the church or some religious group.
- Find some resources that are prepared specifically for children.
- Prayer can take place anywhere, anytime but it is important to establish one set place to use each time. This will develop a sense of routine for the children.
- Choose a place that is free from distractions.
- Do not choose a time that will disrupt the regular activities of your children because it could lead to resentment and later on will defeat the purpose of devotion time.
- Family come together during mealtime. It is the ideal time to start a short prayer.
- Another good time is in the evening of Wednesday where everyone can pray the holy rosary. This will create a prayerful atmosphere.
Sometimes as a parent, we should find a way that a family could stay together. There is a beautiful quote ' A family that prays together, stays together'.
