This is a wonderful thread. I was hoping to see more pictures. šŸ§
 
Ther is nothing wrong with wine bottles per se. It is with people who become scandalized and judgemental over the littlest things. My niece had a hissy fit a couple years ago because I drank a glass of beer so I try to keep in mind the feelings and attitudes of others. So I wonā€™t be posting photos of wine bottles among the many sacramentals.
 
I knew my corner was missing something. I need to add a Terrible Towel. šŸ˜‰
 
I have a small bookcase with candles, statues and books. I will try and take a pic tomorrow.

Across from my couch where I often sit to pray, I look upon these various icons and religious art that Iā€™ve acquired over the years.

I installed a shrine at the end of my slide-door closet. I duck beneath my dress shirts & pants to get inside, and then I can slide the door closed behind me. It is almost completely dark inside, and then I can light a candle. Itā€™s less than 3 feet wide inside.

My routine prayers are:
The Memorare (begining prayer)

And then in no particular order:

Eternal Rest
Angel of God
Golden Arrow
Prayer to St Michael

And then I make other petitions, streaming thoughts & thanksgiving.

Looks like a peaceful little spot, and how appropriate (considering your username) that there is a statue of seagulls.
 
Ok, the Votive holder really look nice,no if you have a relic you can also keep it reverently ,and use it whenever any one is sick at home,and have them kissed them with faith ,would bring healing,its a sacramental.my opinion only,since priest ,monks,nuns and other religious already pray much,its is the lay people who really need such things, we all are called to be holy, in each state of life god has called us,not only the priest and nuns. god bless

So, after much contemplation, Iā€™ve decided on a simple arrangement of the following items. Perhaps with a few other things. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
My special place is on the mantelpiece above the open fire in the lounge room,a lovely picture of Our Lady of Perpetual help,statue of Jesus candle,flowers and some family photos ,photos of friends past on.
If there is someone in urgent need of prayer ,like mum I light a candle .
 
I do have a question. How many of these items should be blessed before I put them up in my home?
 
That Madonna and Child is simply amazing! šŸ˜

Iā€™ll add that to my confirmation gift list.
 
You will most certainly enjoy a prayer space in your home. Acadian history is very dear to me as Mary is the patron saint of the Acadian exiles and her feast day August 15 coincides with Acadian Day. So my prayer room incorporates lots of elements that are dear to my heart such as Catholic reading and audio material, wall poster in French language of the Acadian Exile in 1755. Catholicism here in south Louisiana is so very special and integral, I cant imagine not being in Peterā€™s boat. I have an ā€œold tymeyā€ looking radio/CD player that I can listen to talks by Catholic apologists and sit in my chair comfortably. Life is wonderful, I am excited for you. Hope you set your space up.(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
Letā€™s seeā€¦I have a large crucifix on my living room wall. Thereā€™s a bookcase there too with several icons - Christ Pantocrator, St. Michael, The Blessed Virgin. In my sitting room, there are some icons, the Trinity by Rublev and the Holy Family and a San Damiano crucifix. Also thereā€™s a statute of St. Joseph in the laundry room where I do a lot of work.
