That is a good looking prayer corner. I might make one myselfIts very nice.
thanks, I credit Our Lord for providing, just bought the last substantial piece, a standing crucifix.
Wow, whole new room!
You are a child of God (and His Mother
), you don’t need to worry about being worthy. And its kind of hard to sin without your consent. Sometimes, stuff just happens.What many call an “altar” is actually a shrine or a prayer corner. It is very traditional to have a section set apart for prayer and devotion even in the bedroom. Many of the saints themselves had holy images and statues where they slept.
Regular bodily functions are not blasphemous. 
Indeed. What many forget is that there is a great difference, also, between the altar in the church and a prayer corner, as Zekariya put it. The primary difference is that the one at church has been consecrated, signed with holy oils that have had an epiclesis performed over them and regularly bear the Body and Blood - whereas the one’s at home are simply a place for daily retreat. Nuanced distinctions and rarely touched upon in today’s catechesis, but nonetheless very important I think.What many call an “altar” is actually a shrine or a prayer corner.

Very cool…too bad you won’t live long enough to enjoy it…
Leaflet Missal sells some nice crowns. Other than that you have to buy crowns and halos from religious stores in Spain. They have website but their items are expensive.
Very nice! Ever thought about dressing Him like in Mexico?
Yes, prayer corner is a good way to phrase it. I am encouraging my faith formation kids to set up a corner of their room (nightstand, shelf or even a drawer) to be the place they can go in quiet to pray to God and worship Him in a special way. I brought in pictures of my prayer corner and they were all eager to look at it. I decorate it according to the natural seasons as well as the liturgical season as well. I also change out my Rosary beads that hang from my cross, keep a small Bible on top and have a statue of Mary and a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I place prayer cards and or pictures of family, friends or neighbors that have died and pray for their souls.What many call an “altar” is actually a shrine or a prayer corner.

In my culture (hispanic) we have el Niño Dios (God Child). On Christmas eve, we lay him in the manger and everyone gives Him a kiss and gets a bag of candy. Then, on the 6 of Jan. we eat the Rosca de Reyes, which is a sweet bread. Inside, there is a miniature Baby Jesus. Whoever gets the Baby Jesus has to make or buy an outfit for the Niño Dios and make tamales for the 2nd of Feb. It is an awesome tradition
