Does it look like a bouquet? I am guessing not, as rolling up papers with devotional acts on them into flowers seems difficult, and these bouquets seem to be so common.

Lisa 1,350 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Spiritual bouquets are the best things ever! It's where people promise prayers for you (a rosary, a Holy Hour, etc.) instead of a gift. It can come in a variety of packages. Usually, when I would plan spiritual bouquets for our priests and the like, I would put them in a spiritual reading book or a journal. When the bishop came to our newman center, we gave him a tear-off calendar with each of our prayers on a page. For mine, they actually made them into flat flowers- each person wrote their prayer/message on a petal, and they were pinned in the middle and fanned (so, when not fanned out, it folds into something very small). The person making them actually checked with the VD to make sure I could bring them, and I can! How sweet is it that she would check?

Lisa 1,350 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 So far I'm up to three items that are missing. Two of which were placed "in a safe place so I wouldn't lose it." St. Anthony, pray for us. xTrishaxLynnx and Lil Red 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although, I did put a can of pineapple in the fridge once. Under the bed, yes. Closet, most of the way. Will look more tomorrow. The car has potential for the umbrella; I'm going to look in the morning.
