Summary/Abstract: One of the most frequent questions that arise in the educational area both in schools and the mass media is related to the role of education within the family in the process of forming new generations of students. The present paper starts from one of the fundamental factors in family education, namely the formative value of prayer. It presents the ideal image of the family, founded on the divine commandments and blessed by the Saviour, as the one in Cana Galilee. Because the family is, theologically speaking, a space of Christian perfection, the role of prayer is to support the continuous process of modelling and remodelling the person, including the relationships between family members, through a continuous personal effort sustained by the work of the divine grace.
