Did You Know? Spiritual Bouquets are prayers or devotional acts that someone offers for another person or group to express joy, sorrow, best wishes, or in commemoration of a special occasion. The recipient is given some kind of note or message letting them know who the giver is and what the spiritual bouquet consists of. Givers usually offer things like a number of Masses attended, Holy Communions offered, Rosaries and/or other prayers said, good deeds performed, or special messages. Prayers benefit all. This ministry can easily be done communally or alone, at church or at home. Many who are homebound are the best “pray-ers”, so they are a special gift to this ministry. A very special "thank you" to our Respect Life Ministry, who offered a spiritual bouquet to the Blessed Mother at yesterday's 11 am Mass! The flowers which accompanied the intentions were absolutely beautiful! To see pictures of yesterday's Spiritual Bouquet, please click on the article title.
