Your Home Prayer Corner

In the book of Joshua we read, 'as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.' What does this mean for our lives and our homes? The Lord answers this question when he says, 'the rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock' (Matthew 7:25) The foundation upon which our homes are to be built is Christ and the cornerstone of every house should be the Prayer Corner where we encounter Christ, His Mother, and the Saints each and every day!
