A Holy Water font has been added, Lasallians can now bless themselves when they enter ther Prayer Room.
Holy water is blessed by a priest, and is thus consecrated to God. It is used to remind us in a symbolic way of our entry into life through the baptism of water. Because water is a cleanser and a refresher, it reminds us when we use it of the need for clearing our conscience of sin, and for cleansing our mind of distractions that interfere with prayer. Holy water does not produce these effects, but is a visible, bodily help to activate ourselves to prayer and worship by these and similar thoughts.
We have also added a Prayer Basket for Lasalllians to leave their joy, sorrows or petition for God.
