The mortician told us that he was having trouble getting them anymore, and didn't have any on hand. We ended up with the 23rd Psalm printed on a little folder, which was fine, but it would be nice if you could still get the cards. <BR/>I think your bowl idea is very good.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404258237205868795.post-76080092515370861962008-03-15T19:18:00.000-07:002008-03-15T19:18:00.000-07:00Sign me up!!!!!!Sign me up!!!!!!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046773358292402621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404258237205868795.post-22229251442618220712008-03-15T11:45:00.000-07:002008-03-15T11:45:00.000-07:00Tom - you keep giving me credit for being waaaaay ...Tom - you keep giving me credit for being waaaaay nicer than I am.

I'm like you - I want my black ink BLACK.<BR/><BR/>Looked up LAMY pens -- very nice!<BR/><BR/>Whitestone - they still have holy or prayer cards at alot of Catholic funerals. The problem is that no one has a missal to put them in. I got lucky and actually found a current Sunday missal at a thrift store for $2.00. It is packed full:)<BR/><BR/>Katie -- when you pray just say, "Oh yeah, God.

I forgot I had this card as he died when I was about 11. I now have his card next to my rosary so I'll remember to pray for him.<BR/><BR/>In that same vein, I had some holy cards made up for Rhys' 1st Communion coming up in May. I love the thought that friends and family will keep this card in their bibles or missals and pray for him, even when he's older.Motherhenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847866120253288588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404258237205868795.post-55506531190541871852008-03-15T09:58:00.000-07:002008-03-15T09:58:00.000-07:00Oh, you have brought back memories from my childho...Oh, you have brought back memories from my childhood. My missel was full of prayercards in memoriam of various aunts and my gran who had died. Did that lovely tradition stop?<BR/>I think I might start it up here. I have been making saint cards for the children to help them understand who our 'family saints' are. I think I might add prayer cards for our friends and family who have died-I haven't forgotten them, but it would be a lovely way of keeping the prayers going.<BR/><BR/>See Adrienne-you are an inspiration!WhiteStoneNameSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817511811745085749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404258237205868795.post-15808977246008917772008-03-15T08:15:00.000-07:002008-03-15T08:15:00.000-07:00My family's old Bible is chock full of those cards...My family's old Bible is chock full of those cards!

It was nice.<BR/><BR/>Also, I really do like my fountain pen. I do want to try the cross fountain pen, but there aren't any pen or stationary shops in the area that have displays. I took a gamble buying the LAMY, but after all the solid review I read about it and the price was nice too, I had to get it. I just need to find an ink that I like. I'm using some stuff I picked up at office depot, but it just isn't dark enough for my tastes.Paul Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962510592521598520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404258237205868795.post-63536670940662711972008-03-14T21:47:00.000-07:002008-03-14T21:47:00.000-07:00You know, you are such a kind Auntie:0) What a be...You know, you are such a kind Auntie:0) What a beautiful sentiment to pray for someone who my have been forgotten or just did not have anyone to pray for them after their passing.

Don't kill me for saying that, but you are, and I love your ways.<BR/><BR/>I have already what I call the "Book People" for whom I pray -- truly, when anyone in my or husband's family died, we inherited the good stuff (holy cards, letters from priests, a Papal blessing, holy relic, certificate of Sacrament.. most of which are kept in the Bible, now) along with the useless stuff (a Brownie camera, transistor radio, a large pink barrette from 1965.. none of which I am able to part with. Surely it'll take the sting out of my passing while my kids shriek more and more, "Why the hell did she keep <I>this</I>??") <BR/><BR/>What a marvelous idea, to offer the Bowl around. Well, you know what.. please send me one, too. This is what Catholicism is all about. We are one in Him-- it doesn't matter if we know each other or not..we <I>will</I>, one day. We all need prayers, most especially those who depend upon them even more than the living do.<BR/><BR/>God bless you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
