When You Want to Give More Than Prayers . . . (The Catholic Goodie Box Review!)

I was given a Catholic Goodie Box to review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

When You Want to Give More Than Prayers . . .

Whenever I am going through a challenging time, or someone I love is hurting or sick, I often ask others for prayers.

I truly and honestly appreciate when others pray for me. I am sure you do too!

We often pray for others when they ask or when we can see they are going through a rough time.

But sometimes, we want to give them more than our silent thoughts and prayers.

Other times I personally feel as though I’m not praying enough, or I find myself forgetting people that asked for prayers.

As I looked through the Catholic Goodie Box, I thought, what an awesome way to give more than prayers!

The Catholic Goodie Box includes prayers through each and every product.

By giving someone the The Catholic Goodie Box, you transcend your thoughts and prayers into a tangible reminder of your love and concern.

And maybe, the very person that needs that reminder is yourself!

Or maybe it’s a lonely person, or a sick friend, or someone experiencing many challenges in his faith and life right now.

Whatever the case, I love that this option is available.  Although there is nothing better to give someone than a heartfelt, faith filled prayer to Our Lord, sometimes we need reminders that prayers are being said, and that we are loved.

Sometimes people need that extra boost.

The founders of the Catholic Goodie box want to make that “boost of inspiration” available to you and your loved ones.

Joanna, one of the Catholic Goodie Box founders, explains:

We started The Catholic Goodie Box because we believe in stepping out of your comfort zone to receive God’s incredible gifts. To us that means trying new things, engaging with new people, being present in our faith community, and pursing an inspired faith filled life.

What a challenge to all of us in the midst of our busy, daily lives . . . to step outside our comfort zone.

To not only say, “I’m praying for you”; but to send a prayerful goodie box.
To not only say, “I think it is so great that nuns make soap”, but to support those nuns in their soap making.
And to not only say, “I am proud to say I believe in God”, but to continue to grow in our relationship with Him by reading spiritual, faith filled books often included in a faith based subscription box.
Our human nature make signs and symbols important to us.

A Sacramental,  as described so clearly and simply by Anni from A BEAUTIFUL, CAMOUFLAGED MESS OF A LIFE, is

A tool (could be person or thing) used to assist in deepening one’s faith.

We could all use  some “tools to assist us in deepening our faith”!

If there is someone you wish you could “give more than prayers” too,

  1.  Don’t stop praying!  Your prayers are the greatest gift you could ever give to someone!
  2. Consider sending them a Catholic Goodie Box! USE COUPON CODE PRAYER15 and receive 15% off any order!

Getting mail that is not a bill is always fun!  Send someone a box of prayers and love today!

Want to see what has been in past boxes and what gift options are available?  Check out TheCatholicGoodieBox.com

SPEAKING OF GIVING MORE THAN PRAYERS:  I had this coloring page sketched just for you!  Take some time this weekend to relax and color – and maybe even prayer journal!  Enjoy!

    It looks wonderful and I thought it would be a great gift to Mom or my sister or friends. Or just in general but when I went to their site and checked the information. They don’t ship to Canada 🙁 oh well, perhaps in the future.

    Such an awesome looking box! This is a monthly subscription kind of deal, right? But, it’s definitely on my wish list as a “someday, I want” gift!

    Thanks for the review – the products you received this month look phenomenal!

    It is so wonderful to see that all of these cool Catholic companies are merging so that we can support our friends and our family while also supporting Catholic merchants and artisans. Thank you for this post which brings it to our attention!

    I love that you call us out to practice our faith!
    To not only say, “I’m praying for you”; but to send a prayerful goodie box.
    To not only say, “I think it is so great that nuns make soap”, but to support those nuns in their soap making.
    And to not only say, “I am proud to say I believe in God”, but to continue to grow in our relationship with Him by reading spiritual, faith filled books often included in a faith based subscription box.
    Those are some really good points… How often to we say “I’m praying for you” as a kind platitude, and never follow through?! This box looks like a great gift 🙂 And TY for the coupon code woot woot!!!

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.
