Catholic gifts for a good cause
Thanks to Father Stephanos for the link to the Sisters of Carmel website. They sell a variety of Catholic gifts including rosaries, medals, holy water fonts, and rings as well as CDs, calendars and cards.
The sisters are a cloistered, contemplative order of Discalced Carmelites. They live lives of poverty, prayer and penance for the needs of the world. Their meals are meatless, and on Fridays, vegan.
The picture shows a traditional clothing ceremony of a newly professed sister.

Dymphna's favorite quotes
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

Hey Dymph,
I didn't know how else to contact you, so here we go!
Here's the addy for the commercial with all those Catholics standing up to MJF's lies (OK, Kurt Warner is a fallen away Catholic, but he still has the indelible stamp of a Catholic Baptism on his soul!)
