This was part of a book purchase (thank you eBay), and is a prayer card for the remembrance of the Most Reverend Edward Peter McManaman, STD, who was Auxiliary Bishop of Erie.  Erie seems to have only had three auxiliary bishops in the last 100 years. According to Catholic Hierarchy, the good auxiliary Bishop was […]

That famous Carmelite mystic, St. Teresa of Avila.  This card folds in half (as can be seen by the fold mark!) and has some maxims from St. Teresa inside.  The card comes from the Carmel of Reno, although their website (and chapel) seem to leave a lot to be desired.

This is a card I picked up out of the Marian Center’s “free” bin (my most favorite bin) in Louisville’s East End.  I’ve found many a holy card there.  This card predates me, my parents, and all four grandparents, which is pretty cool, when you think about it.  One of the many great things about being […]

I really like this prayer card, from the image used to the Novena prayer on back.  Picked it up from my favorite Dominican parish, St. Louis Bertrand.  The parish is home to a really old Lourdes Grotto and is just really pretty.  Also, staffed by some great Dominicans (even if some are…  Bears or Pats […]

Here’s another one-sided holy card that I have.  This is a more modern-styled Our Lady of Mount Carmel.  In it, Our Lady is depicted with the Brown Scapular.

Here’s a saint most folks have likely heard of, but haven’t heard much about.  St. Vincent de Paul!  I would be willing to bet most people know of him through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, an organization dedicated to the sanctification of its members through serving the poor and disadvantaged.  The Society was […]

This only has one side because the back is blank.  If it’s not already obvious, it’s a guardian angel watching over two (?) children as they traverse … a bridge you wouldn’t expect two children to be traversing.  Either way, their guardian angel is watching over them, guiding and protecting them on their way.  Even […]

Picked this up in a book that I got off eBay.  It is from the time when parish missions were a bit more popular than they are nowadays.  I attended a parish mission a year or two ago, and it wasn’t quite my cup of tea (nor was it really aimed at “me” per se, […]

The requests of Our Lady of Fatima included the daily rosary for peace and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Fatima is a call from the Mother of God for a renewed fidelity to penance and prayer, which basically is the message of the Gospel. Too, it brings out the desire of Our Lord […]
