Summary/Abstract: The prayer and the facts of faith in (re) modeling the Christian family. One of the most frequent questions that arise in the educational area both in schools and mass media is related to the role of the education within family in the process of forming the new generations of students. The present paper starts from one of the fundamental factors of the education within family, namely the formative value of prayer. It presents the ideal image of the family, founded on the divine commandments and blessed by the Savior, 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 modeling and remodeling of the person, including the relationships between family members, through a continuous personal effort sustained by the work of the divine grace.
