Love your picture of Mary holding Jesus! I've tried to find it with no luck. Can you tell me where I can buy it? Thank you and God Bless. 🙏

[@TheGodMinute]

Yes! That one is so special to me! I got it from a small online shop called Pax Beloved. Here is her website, she has some amazing stuff: paxbeloved.com I couldn’t find the exact one that I have, it might be out of stock or something- or you may be able to reach out to her and request it specially, but she does appear to have a handful that are very similar. Hope you find something 💙

Hey! I'm building my own catholic alter too! Um, I'm a little stuck on this part. Can candles be something I can buy at the craft store or should I spend a little more, and buy beeswax candles online? My town doesn't have any beeswax candles in any of the stores.

How exciting! Good luck with your altar! It depends what the purpose is... if you’re just looking for ambiance, any kind of candle works. If you’re looking to have blessed candles (which is recommended for every Catholic to own some) then we’d recommend buying a set of beeswax candles online and then having them blessed by your priest (as blessed candles are supposed to be beeswax).

Beeswax is preferred and they should be blessed by a priest.

*TRUE AND POWERFUL CONVERSION STORY AMD A GREAT MIRACLES, OF A GREAT SINNER! March, 2022 Thank GOD for our LADY of GUADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012, and I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her. †Also, when I prayed few Rosaries to help me to quit smoking cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time, (prv 3: 5) †Truly, when I was inspired to recite one single Rosary in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer; but GOD still saved me (Jn 14:15 - 27)! Also During my first Rosary procession outdoors in May 13, 2001, I saw Queen of the Holy Rosary walking with us for 4-5 seconds; And she had long, dark, blue dress & absolutely attractive one. †Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm, and I NEVER miss it. †UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to the daily readings is like my "daily bread" And I read the Bible from cover to cover 3 times since my conversion! & I read the CCC as well, (Is. 55: 10 -11). Also, I like to what some one says: every winter turns into spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Ps.14:1) †Unfortunately, many "Catholics don't know what they have, and Evangelicals don't know what they are missing!" †And I used to attend few different Evangelical Churches for a few years searching for TRUTH while residing in Stockholm & they opened my eyes a LITTLE bid to the facts of faith at the time. † God is still in the miracle buisness. And thank God for the ROSARY miracle prayer, etc.(Ps. 107:13- 14 †"This is the day which GOD hath made a day for us to REJOICE & be GLAD" - Ps.118: 2 †By Saba Korial, & I was born in Middle East, now Canadian & Christian CATHOLIC & part of 1.360 Million world wide Catholics. (2 Tm 2:4 & 4:7). Note that the Name of God is mentioned 3 times while praying the ROSARY as follow: first the LORD, then Jesus & GOD (RV 3:10). † "Brothers & sisters pray for me that I may NOT flee for fear of wolves"(TERRORISTES)." - Acts (20: 23 - 24) †"A believer sees more on his knees than a philosopher sees on his tiptoes" D.L. Moody **Copy & google the following very interesting videos in KZbinS, etc.: 1.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnjMgqt7i6hrpas 2.WoW:kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZKvkoSnqKiKjNU 3. former pastor of the largest Church now Catholic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLPc6eBotuinbc 4. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f368ZoN5eM-Xoqc&feature=share 5.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiaeouKpJV_hqs *"IT'S BETTER TO KNOW SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAN ALL OF THE ANSWERS" -James Thundber *NEW BOOK by Steve Weidenkopf: " Light from Darkness: Nine Times the Catholic Church Was in Turmoil-and Came Out Stronger Than before" * FORMER EVANGELICAL PROFESSOR: "Weak Catholics Become Protestants Strong Protestants..."
