I think this is a very beautiful sentiment/idea for a funeral/death remembrance card. The idea of a child knocking at/on the door of the tabernacle is a charming sentiment, and mimics the “let the children come unto Me”. The prayer on the back of the card is also nice. “Be not severe in Thy judgment […]
This isn’t quite a card, but it fits with the others so I’ll post it regardless! St. Jude is an apostle and martyr, and he’s also the patron saint of hopeless or desperate causes. The Dominicans in the Central Province (St. Albert the Great Province) run the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus, which is […]
This card is a remembrance of Fr. Kenneth Waller’s, OFM Conv ordination to the priesthood and the celebration of his first Solemn Mass on May 26 and 29, 1949. Fr. Waller was ordained at the Cathedral in Toledo, OH. You can read a short biography on him and his life here. Let us, as his […]
I apparently don’t have any Aquinas holy cards scanned and at the ready (something I will need to fix!), so I’ll just go ahead and post St. Dominic on this the feast day of St Thomas Aquinas (in the traditional calendar of the Roman Rite and in the calendar of the Dominican Rite).
This is why reading is important. This is actually a card commemorating Matthew Weaver’s reception of the cassock and clerical tonsure through the Institute of Christ the King. Abbe Weaver is originally from Cleveland, OH. Still, a pretty picture. Let us pray he is ordained and that he make a great priest!
Number 2 of 3 in my ICKSP card posting “series”, this comes from Canon Andrew Todd’s ordination card (what a great given name he has!). Canon Todd is currently Vicar at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, MO.
I’m behind on my holy card posting, so I’ll post three ICKSP holy cards in a row! Picked these up at St Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, under the care of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, who recently had their Constitutions approved by the Holy See. Canon Estrada is currently the […]
Over at First Things, Peter Leithart discusses why, according to the Angelic Doctor, it was fitting for Christ to die on a wooden cross. As we enter into the second half of Lent, let us reflect on the crucifixion. Why did Jesus die on a cross? Thomas asks (ST III, 46, 4). He gives a […]
This usually comes around on Mother’s Day at StLB, but Lent won’t include Mother’s Day, so here it is!
A card from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, with the De Profundis on the back. A great Psalm, one of the Seven Penitential Psalms. We ought to pray it more often for the souls in Purgatory.
