That is NOT practicing the faith. The only way to practice is faith is to live the narrow way. It decisions, actions and how u treat others. Non of this is following Jesus. I'm appalled that fellow Catholics don't know their faith. Its NOT about trinkets.ur meant to have Jesus in ur heart and not on a shelf

@@SuperLuckao The reason we have statues on earth is whenever we look at them we get a taste of heaven, and no we don’t worship statues we only venerate the statues, whatever statue or Saint you better rate they will pray for you in you’re path to heaven.

@@SuperLuckao How do you know that, in addition to her icons, statues, etc., she does NOT live the "narrow way"? Also, the items she displays are not merely "trinkets" as you call them. They are religious articles (typically blessed by a priest) to assist us as daily reminders of our faith; to strengthen our faith, to concentrate on prayer, etc. Also, please remember, that first and foremost, our precious Catholic faith calls all of us brothers and sisters-in-Christ to practice charity. God bless you.

This is great! I'm Catholic monk. I'm following now, from Maaloula, Syria! God bless you! Pray for me!

No one can ever love our Blessed Mother like Jesus. ❤

We Greek Orthodox take our holy icons to our church and have the priest to bless them! So nice to see a young women embracing your faith!

We Catholics too do take them to the priests to bless for us

This is great! I have my own little home altar in my living room. I prefer to keep fresh flowers 💐 on mine along with a big picture of Jesus, a crucifix, blessed candles, Lourdes holy water, essential oil of Frankincense, my Rosaries, Bible, devotionals. I don't know what I would do without it all!

This was very nice and I’m glad to see a young person who appreciates their faith. God bless you.

I am Catholic, never thought of starting an altar in my surroundings, the thought of starting one has got me so happy at the adventure in the search for my items and to research saints...draw them closer to me...why hadn't I done this sooner, it will be small but a nice area, box(es) to hold more is a great idea, I already know I will want more items with me, close to me. God bless you, I am so blessed to know God loves me.

Love this young lady! Wish my grandsons would meet someone like her.. Everyone should have a home altar.. Thank you Lord for these precious young people in our church

Katherine, you are on fire girl. You ooze the Faith, your smile says it all. How blessed we are to be Catholic (Strong). We all have different devotions, there are of course the main elements which you have Jesus (The Trinity), Blessed Mother & St Joseph. Let us be happen where we are with our faith. At 77 been there seen it all and was never deserted. God Bless you, may the Blessed Trinity, Mother Mary & St Joseph continue to walk with you and Bless you.

Love this altar! What you said about loving The Mother of God is so true, we cannot love Mary more than Jesus did 💕

Very beautiful! You should add a Divine Mercy image! 🤍

On my altar I have in my room I’m still a kid I have collected statues over the years, I get most of them from my local church! I keep a huge golden crucifix a statue of our Lady of Fatima, of course a statue of Jesus! A statue of Jesus carrying the cross, whenever I look at the statue of Jesus carrying the cross I remind myself to carry my cross during the day! God bless!

When I first joined the Catholic Church I got a Pieta prayer book. It’s small and has some beautiful prayers and a sweet picture Of Our Lady in it.

Just constructed my altar ! I am in love with it. A more dedicated place to worship, and to help bring myself closer to god! Wish i could share pictures on comments, I’m just waiting on a new cross I wanted, and a statue I got of our blessed mother and baby Jesus

I love this little altar in the room as it also serves as a prayer corner. Keep your little devotions close to your heart.

Hello Katherine! I love your altar, all your sacramentals and holy reminders! I’m your new subscriber! It’s a great feeling, peaceful and safe, to be surrounded with sacramentals and holy reminders! It’s like being embraced by God, and in the company of Mother Mary, glorious St. Jo, and all the saints and holy angels, all the time! It’s such a great feeling, never felt alone..most of all, I feel so loved, so blessed!

Its always great to learn from others. I am inspired by my small altar to remind me to pray. Thank you for sharing

Hey new Catholic here. Recently made my own home alter. Great video.

Thanks for showing us your alter setup.Incense burner would be a plus.

Hello Catherine! I love your Prayer Altar! I really like to light a candle when I pray and I need to find more of the little battery operated candles, as I just moved in and paint, boxes, paper and dust are everywhere. You might like them, too.Thank you! This video was very encouragi g to me. 😊 Teresa

Enjoy the better weather in Florida! Keep looking for YA groups in your area! That’s how I made all of my faithful friends! I’m so blessed!

New to the faith. Have a home alter myself, my teenage boys love it!

I would say Add a candle or two! For me, I can only really tune in and focus on my prayer altar with that cue of lighting a candle to show that now is a time of worship. It helps me remember to focus on prayer and not be distracted by other things in the room.

The only thing I think you have missed for your altar is a dim light (ie either a low-wattage table lamp or a battery-powered candle). I have my altar set up-always have since I was a wee girl-in my closet. My current home has a walk-in closet in my bedroom so, one wall of it is taken up with my altar. Tips to creating a home altar on a budget: 1. Purchase-or better yet, repurpose from a free site or FB marketplace-a console table. It is a perfect table for an altar. 2. Find a formal dining room chair and cut the legs off to about 8 inches from the floor to DIY a prie-dieu. If you are someone like me who has physical challenges in getting up from kneeling, use a formal dining room chair with arms. Also, if you haven’t room for an actual table, you can add a piece of wood-stained to match the chair. Mount it on the top of the chair back, either flat or at an angle with a “lip” to hold a prayer book or Bible. 3. I know “kids today” would opt for playing Gregorian chants or hymns on their cell or via Bluetooth, but I like to keep my altar space electronics-free to avoid distraction. Preface said, I keep a Tibetan/Himalayan singing bowl for the instant calm that the sound brings to my mind. The tone quickly focuses my prayers and/or rosary recitation. 4. Lastly, if you are not bothered by scents, a small vial of frankincense is also a great way to focus the mind to one’s prayer intentions. Bless!

I am a Catholic too. I have my altar in my bedroom. I love Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I love all the saints, angels, and archangels. I pray the rosary to Virgin of Guadalupe and I also send healing prayers to anyone who needs them. Thank you for this video.

Blessed Mother Mary leads us to Christ. John 2:5- His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you." I love how our sister Church, the Eastern Orthodox call her Theotokos- the God Bearer. And I agree, Mother Angelica should definitely be a saint. I pray for her intersection often.

Just came across your channel! Looking forward to more of your content! Greetings from Central Jersey!

You are so PRETTY i cant imagine who would break up with you i recently talked to my grandma on my dads side and she is catholic i was baptized catholic and she helped me build my altar and i have my family pictures and the sacred heart of Jesus picture as well

Very beautiful! Your altar is pretty cool too. I am happy with my altar setup. What I am concerned with is having my home ready for the 3 days of darkness where every room will be safe from outside views. Almost there! Do have the blessed candles though.

Thank you. God bless you. 💒💒💒

I was just thinking today how I don’t know many other KZreadrs in NJ, just one other one, and then you pop up! I’m also in north Jersey. Our lives are pretty different since I’m at 37 year old mom of 4. I’ve been on a faith journey for probably almost a year now, cradle catholic and knew next to nothing about the Catholic faith. But I’ve been learning a lot and I started OCIA classes a couple weeks ago. I feel like Catholicism is so misunderstood.

hi for a suggestion a tea candle holder, a vase for flowers for Mary, and a holy water font for your front door if you dont already have one. Thank you for the suggestions you made, i will be adding some to my alter. :)

Subscribed within the first 13 seconds. 😂 So happy I found your channel.

I have a personal chapel at my Hermitage, and something that is always a must have, is candles. You can always offer up an intention for someone or yourself and you can use inexpensive tea light candles, if you want to save. God bless you everything looks so wonderful, may the Lord bless you and keep you both now and forever! 🔥 ♥️

Dear Lady, your understanding is mine too, thank you for expressing this.

Love your zeal of the Holy Ghost!❤❤❤ Maybe a white doily, crochet knit or change cloths with the seasons of the church. Also a crucifix over by your door and a scapular for protection with a St Benedict medal, and a holy water fountain when you leave your place. I like to recycle jars and put a flower for Mary on my alter, luke a green olive jar. Thank you for your inspiration! God bless!❤❤❤

Beautiful! 💖🙏🙏🙏🕊️ You are so blessed!

Very encouraging Catherine...I pray for you

Buenos días Señora, muy bonito, Dios la bendiga. Un saludo desde Oaxaca, México.

This is the first time I seen Catholic altar by western. Back then I thought Western Catholism people just go to church on Sunday. And decorate the Cross above bedroom & done. Never thought they do have altar. Its great to see this. I am Catholism in Vietnam & they even put portrait picture of parents & grandparents under altar. Sorry for my bad writing English.

Your Miguel Pro relic is a second class. I have one from his Chausible like that too. Viva Christo Rey

I would add both the Divine Mercy picture (or prayer card) and a pamphlet to pray Divine Mercy Chaplet. And I would add the Purple Scapular with daily prayer printed card (laminated).

Thank you for your lovely video; it was very uplifting and it wonderful to see how passionate you are about your faith. I think your altar is great, maybe add a candle or light source. ♥

Sister you have a beautiful altar I would recommend to add some living lights 😁

I’m so proud being Catholic.

God Bless to All

I am in the process of redoing my altar - I am making mine up in a shelled out form from an old heater . I have started collecting statues from the Little Drops of Water catholic statues - simply as they are so sweet and childlike - they remind me to have a child like faith in God - I used to clean and decorate my grandmothers altar as a child - even after she passed I used to look after it - it was a huge old wooden glass structure like a mini church and I loved it - but it was very large and my father dismantled in and got rid of it - I have always missed it - I find having certain statues reassuring - St Micheal the Archangel - St Francis- St Philomena - I also keep blessed salt on my altar and incense.

I love your video! Thank you for sharing ♥️🙏🏻♥️ Blessings I just found you and I subscribed 😉

Maybe a battery candle to light whenever you pray the Rosary or read scripture 🙏. I say battery because I wouldn’t want you to set fire to your whole cabinet ❤

Hi Ma'am Katherine. Newbie here. I love your channel. Thanks for sharing. How I wish to have my own house. I want to put an altar also.

I love home altars, they a very important to spirituality.

we rarely find this kind of girl in western especially in US...👍👍

Love your altar! I dedicated a space in our living room for my altar. Crucifix, statue of Mary, Joseph, Icon of St. Therese and Our Lady, Holy Water, blessed bees’s wax candle and rosary. We are also originally from North Jersey. 😁 God bless you.

Blessed Salt, Holy Water and Holy Oil. Scapular’s. Brown and Green. Second or Third Class Relic’s. As a Benedictine Oblate, I have a Prayer Alter and am Single, in a small Apartment. Having a Prayer Alter, help’s to live the Monastic or any Vocation.

A picture of the trinity would be nice. I have one at my pray center.

God bless your Home.🙏🙏🙏

Awesome Home Altar. If I may suggest one item, it would be a Metal of St Benedict to help against evil. After all, it is what our Priest uses in Exorcism. If possible, it is important to have your Priest not only bless the icon but also say the Prayer of Exorcism in Latin. Most Priests will refuse, so just have the prayer written for them. It helps. My Rosary is a War Rosary, and it's all about St. Benedict. A thousand Blessings to you and yours.

The Lourdes icon is awesome!

So beautiful and I love mama Mary

I can’t wait until the St. Fulton Sheen Rosaries become available 🤩🙏

Thank you for your KZread

About the scented rosary: monks or nuns make the beads by hand out of rose or jasmine petals. The scent lasts for ever. I hang the holy medals in my rosary in the space for the Glory be, If there are too many, I spread them among all my rosaries. Hope it will help.
