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!

    This is very lovely. I never heard of it. I can think off the top of my head a few ladies that this was meant for! Thank you for sharing!

    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!!!

Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and services are definitely not ideal… at least there weren’t for our family.

I once read or heard another mom suggest washing your children’s feet on Holy Thursday… she I tried it and my kids absolutely LOVED it!

In fact, they would ask to wash my feet!

Last year I took my 3 children (8 year old twins and 12 year old) to a Shrine as a sort of modified 7 churches visit.
It was like a holy adventure!

I had planned on taking them to 2 more churches but we stayed at the first place for awhile so we kept it to that one visit.

Holy Week offers many opportunities and invites much silence and contemplation, but young children make what is do-able different.

We want our children to see and understand God’s great love for us. I feel like these activities communicate that- at least partially.

Do you have suggestions for Good Friday or Holy Saturday?

Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday th Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday that stated what happened once Jesus died on the cross? There was a certain part that caught my attention more this year than in years past.
Here is an excerpt:
“… the veil of the sanctuary
was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened,
and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection,
they entered the holy city and appeared to many...@

That part about Saints rising and appearing to many made me wonder… did Saint Joseph appear to Mary? Did Saint Anne appear to her daughter as she mourned the loss of her Son?” 

These were thoughts and questions I never had before.

After the Masses were over yesterday my nephew was baptized! My sister Theresa is his mother.
My sister Theresa was named after The Little Flower 🌹 
I know a statue is not a person… but it looks like God and Saint Therese’ sent a wink from heaven yesterday… look who made sure she had a front row seat to the Baptism!

It’s interesting to see how the Saints have always been a part of the story.

I find such comfort that not only can I ask YOU to pray for me, but I can also reach out to the Saints and ask them to pray for me too.

By the way, if you ever need a parking spot, ask Saint Polycarp… he got us a great one yesterday in downtown Philly!
Someone once told me to ask him for help when looking for a parking spot. Her reasoning was “no one is asking him for anything” 😂 I’m telling you… it works every time I ask! 

We are not alone.
If you need prayers- ASK 
Ask your friends, family and call on the Saints!

What Saint has prayed for you before? I’d love to hear about it!
