Catholic Mass Cards

Those who give or receive mass cards would appreciate the medley of beautiful traditional pictures. However, the back of the cards all have the same poem, "Nails," which I didn't find inspirational like one would read on holy cards: a prayer, a quote from a saint or some spiritual insight shared. This assortment, that could be used for various occasions is marred, I find, by a depressing little poem that does nothing to immerse one's imagination in prayer. I'd prefer they left the back blank.

Though the cards are very beautiful and perfect for my use. I celebrate the traditional Catholic Mass. I had one major problem with one of the I two sets I bought. The first set no problem the second however did have a major problem. All the envelopes were already sealed! Had to purchase some separate envelopes to fit the cards and it was not easy finding the right size.

Here is the poem spoken of in a previous review. It appears on the back of each card.NAILSWhenever the bright blue nails would drop,Down on the floor of his carpenter's shop,St. Joseph, prince of carpenter men,Would stoop to gather them up again;For he feared for two little sandals sweetAnd very easy to pierce they wereAs they pattered over the lumber thereAnd rode on two little sandals sweet.But alas on a hill between earth and heaven,One day-two nails into a cross were drivenAnd fastened it firm to the Sacred FeetWhere once rode two little sandals sweet.And Christ and His Mother looked off in death,Afar-to the valley of NazarethWhere the carpenter shop was spread with dustAnd the little blue nails all packed in rustSlept in a box on a window sill;And Joseph lay sleeping under the hill

Too hard to find the Mass
