Excerpt from Day After Day: A Manual of Devotions for Individual and Family UseA home is never quite complete until the father takes his place before his household as a priest.

I know of no one thing that can so aid in doing this as that the day should begin with family prayer.It is a sad thing to realize that some children have never heard their fathers pray.
