I have to dedicate this blog to my mother. She gave me the idea of discussing Spiritual Bouquets. I had never heard of them until she described them to me.
"...they are so old fashioned that no one is interested anymore. They are so Catholic in every way, and it's shame no one cares about them anymore. ", said Mom. So, I investigated and here's what I found...
EWTN has a craft corner with an easy explanation: "A spiritual bouquet is simply a list of prayers the giver has offered or will offer for the recipient. Write your spiritual bouquet on a purchased or homemade card for the special occasion, or make a card with a spiritual bouquet theme. You can even refer to the prayers as representative flowers, or make an accompanying tissue paper flower or bouquet."
I also found this wonderful website. It shows pictures of
Spiritual Bouquets that were created at Notre Dame School by a little girl long ago. This really touched my heart.
With further research, I came across this website. I couldn't help but notice one of the flowers listed is my Mom's favorite kind, the Hydrangea! What a coincidence!
I love this idea and can't wait to make a spiritual bouquet.
Mom, Love you!
I hope this has enlighted someone...and my mom.
