'There can be no consolation for me but to see the reign of the Heart of my adorable Saviour. Whenever this devotion makes some progress, He always favors me with some unusual suffering.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

I found a Catholic store nearby and went there to buy a gift for my children's Godparents. I bought a statue of St. Joseph carrying Child Jesus for them. It was the best gift  because by a coincidence my kids' Godfather loves Saints and collecting Saints pictures and statues.  While I was there I asked the lady if she had a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, because I was looking for one and just couldn't find one good enough.  She said she would look in the back of the store and came back with one that I loved so much. I'll try and post a picture here. He looks so beautiful and His hands are pierced and I can't stop looking at His Face.  :cherubim:

What a find Patricia! :D

Both the picture and the store! :D

It's not everyday you can find either!  ;D

Its a good store, but one thing I noticed and pointed it out to my son was that they have placed all Saints, Our Lady statues, books etc toward the back corner of the store while the crucifixes, psalm , bible verse pics were toward the front.  This I think was to avoid scaring off potential Protestant customers. :D
 Funny thing happened while we were there. My son saw something that looked like a holy water font and put his finger in it to bless himself. Turned out to be hot wax.  Ha ha. Ouch!  He came to me with hardened wax on his finger . ;D

Now that's a surprise!  :happyroll:

Hmm, it's been forever since I've been to an actual Catholic shoppe. I should hunt one down locally. I do too much shopping online.
