Love for Saint Joseph Prayer Bed Catholic Prayer Pope Francis

Saint Joseph Prayer Bed $26.00
Pope Francis spoke in the Philippines this year, mentioning he prayed often to Saint Joseph. He told the crowd of his sleeping Saint Joseph statue! He places his prayers under the statue with hopes of letting "Saint Joseph sleep on it" that night.
Now you can have something similar to his statue but in the form of a stained glass bed with the photo of Saint Joseph the Pope dearly loves.

Antique Religious Postcards Saint Therese and her History.

Have you ever prayed for the soul of a murderer?

Not a topic you would expect is it? I'm not sure I would. For some reason this touched the heart of Saint Therese.

She prayed for weeks for the soul and conversion of this man who preformed a triple murder in Paris, France 1887.

It was so grisly it made international news for weeks during the investigation. Her prayers day and night made the news!

I came across this postcard of Saint Therese praying at her bedside. I got very curious because of the illustrations on the postcard. If you look above you can see God and Jesus with a lightening bolt. The next illustration on the right shows the criminal kissing the cross. I had no idea what this was about until I translated the inscription. After doing some research I came across this article from the news in 1887. http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=TAN18871022.2.34

The man Pranzini was guillotined , struggling the entire time.

Little Flower was only 14 years old at the time. You never know what you might find in a pile of old postcards.

More of my collection of Saint Therese

I haven't researched this one yet! I wondering what War this is? If you have clues, leave me a comment.

My Trip To New Orleans St Louis #3 Cemetery

I had a wonderful trip to New Orleans! I highly suggest you go it you haven't!
I was so happy to see my daughter and son-in-law, that this was by far one of our more memorable trips. My daughter was raised Catholic but my son-in-law is a bit bohemian. He would appreciate me saying that! But both are in the biological sciences. Science and the church don't always go hand in hand. But I dragged them to a Catholic Cemetery. They enjoyed it! I hope you do too. So here are the pictures!

New Orleans above-ground tombs in St. Louis #3 is walking distance from the New Orleans Museum of Art.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus welcomes you to one of the concrete lanes you drive down.

We counted 19 family members buried in this handsome tomb. Has people passed away you were placed inside with your other family members.

Wall Vaults like the one below were often shared. One vault was often used for an entire family. After a respectable time, the remains of a burial were pushed to the back where construction of the vault allowed it to fall to a receptacle below; the space was then ready for another recipient.

Here is my daughter peering into one.

Here was the marker in front of the vaults explaining the restoration process to families.
Amazingly, this cemetery was flooded by Hurricane Katrina and we hardly noticed any damaged. This damage is done from time.

The statues were just wonderful! I wanted to be inspired when I came here.
