Making the Connection between Prayer, Faith, and Forgiveness in Roman Catholic Families
Batson, Mindi; Marks, Loren
Qualitative Report, v13 n3 p394-415 Sep 2008
This study examines meanings and processes associated with religious practices of prayer, building faith, and forgiving through in-depth, qualitative interviews with six highly religious Roman Catholic families with children. Families were interviewed using a narrative approach that asked participants to share experiences and challenges related to faith and family life. Three primary themes in the interviews included: (a) prayer helps piece the puzzle together, (b) faith builds a foundation, and (c) forgiveness allows unity to flourish. (Contains 1 footnote.)
