Day 134 - What is a Christian house of prayer? A Christian house of prayer is both a sign of the ecclesial communion of people at a specific place and also a symbol of the heavenly dwellings that God has prepared for us all. In Gods house we gather together to pray in common or alone and to celebrate the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. It smells like heaven here. Here you can be very quiet and reverent. Many churches surround us perceptibly in a thick atmosphere of prayer. We sense that God is present here. The beauty of church buildings directs our attention to the beauty, greatness, and love of God. Churches are not just stone messengers of the faith, but dwelling places of God, who is really and truly and substantially present in the sacrament of the altar.
