Deus te Amat Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 My sponsor gave me a nice copy of the Imitation of Christ, and wrote a lovely message inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I was going to suggest a replica of St. Joan of Arc's sword, but no one knows what it looks like so there are no decent replications of it so maybe an travel icon or triptych. Something like this [img]http://img.aquinasandmore.com/items/Sacred-Heart-Gold-Mosiac-Triptych77844lg.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatitude Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Paying to send her on retreat could be a nice idea. Ask her to choose the retreat. She could go with you, or go alone. Who is her confirmation saint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPetiteSoeur Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 A icon of her confirmation saint perhaps? Monastery icons has ton of them and they are beautiful way to center oneself in prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Easterners on here have some good sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissScripture Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Soooo, I just remembered that we got an icon from a Catholic bookstore that was from them, and that's where I first heard of them...um, what do I do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inunionwithrome Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 All Very good suggestions. Yes, thank you for the information. Usually, I dis-like icons. Perhaps, for this reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
