“Our Lord was born into a family. The family is God's plan for the world–His divine plan, conceived in the very beginning, to be a way of beauty and spreading His word. The special place of prayer at home, the family oratory (oratory means “house of prayer”) is a powerhouse of grace by which our family may be nourished spiritually and thus be able to transform the world through prayer, proclamation of the gospel, and charity. That sounds grand, but it is really very simple and humble, like the Holy Family itself.” CatholicismHoly Family Book:The Little Oratory: A Beginner's Guide to Praying in the Home Source: The Little Oratory: A Beginner's Guide to Praying in the Home
