I cannot say why, exactly. I was just called to build it. I tried to pray while I was working on it. It is not perfect, but it is the work of my hands. It is also a good place to get down on my knees every day and spend some time with God.

My prie-dieu
I am an amateur woodworker. In my spare time over the last month or so, I've been building this prie-dieu.

I had no idea you could make something like this. The posture, being on your knees, does enhance our praying sometimes. Why do you think that is?
ReplyDeleteoffhand, I'd say years of training by our parents and the Church.
