Resurrexi Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1944179' date='Aug 9 2009, 12:30 PM']Because my entire home can be a place of prayer and I think the money would be better used to perform works of mercy.[/quote] One can both build a personal chapel and help the poor. St. Louis' personal chapel: [img]http://users.telenet.be/parijs5ecwi/Sainte_Chapelle.jpg[/img] A description of the works of mercy he performed: "He was renowned for his charity. The peace and blessings of the realm come to us through the poor he would say. Beggars were fed from his table, he ate their leavings, washed their feet, ministered to the wants of the lepers, and daily fed over one hundred poor. He founded many hospitals and houses: the House of the Felles-Dieu for reformed prostitutes; the Quinze-Vingt for 300 blind men (1254), hospitals at Pontoise, Vernon, Compiégne."

I, for one, know that being able to pray before our Lord in the tabernacle more frequently would definitely help me to become holier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 My original point was that I can dedicate my entire home to Our Lord, putting money into an extra chapel within my home is [i]not[/i] necessary. A small, humble prayer area is just as good as a gold adorned chapel. The glitz is [i]unnecessary.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
