I am setting aside time each day to do the rosary, daily readings and our bible study on James.

Check what else I'll be doing once it arrives from Italy!

It's been blessed by the pope!

You got a Stations chaplet!


I'm trying really hard not to be envious...

YOU too can get one....it only cost $23.99 including the shipping from Italy.

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2163333396&category=11670

They are selling 17 more of them.

This is the one I've been holding out for.

I'd HOPED to get it as a gift, but my HUSBAND is immune to subtlety. Like, "I want that. Buy it for me. Now."

He did buy me a very interesting book on Marian apparitions for my birthday though.

BTW, how do you *know* that your chaplet has been blessed by the Pope? Does it come with something to authenticate that?

Ooo..I like that one. How much do they cost?

Yeah...the people provide the ticket from the general audience and a nice card with a blessing on it.

Even if its not blessed by the Pope - that's fine. It was cheaper than what I found here in the USA.

Cool.

Yeah, the one I want is 39.95. Maybe that's why my hubby hasn't bought it yet.

Well actually wearing the ashes is supposed to an act of humility.  

I look at it this way.  For the first 300 years of Christianity, they threw us to the lions.  Now, they mock us and laugh at us.  Happened again this year tonight after Mass when I went to work with the ashes on my forehead.  I'm not ashamed.

Awww jukes... I'm amazed I didn't get made fun of today. I live in Southern Baptist land. I didn't see anyone with ashes today on campus, except at the Episcopalian Lent service, and there was only about 30 people at that. I was the only one that I saw this morning. I'm also the only one that I know of that carries a Rosary wrapped around his hand around campus... imagine that.

Just to know, can someone post some stuff on Lent?

 

[ZooMom]

What kind of 'stuff'?
