Those gifts sound so beautiful and heartfelt…thank you for sharing.My husband gave me for my birthday (the day after Christmas) a replacement of my favorite rosary that I loved to use in bed for some reason - it is just plain white frosted beads with a white enameled St. Benedict crucifix and center piece - but I loved that rosary and somehow lost it on our trip to England in September. He found another one, and has held onto it for months waiting for my birthday - I was VERY pleased!
My Dad gave me for Christmas a cd of Gregorian Chant by a group of Monks - not sure which order. But it looks really wonderful.
And the kicker was the birthday gift from my Mom and her husband who are both Athiests. She gave me this STUNNING amethyst ring that has been hers for years - it is a HUGE pear shaped stone set in yellow gold. The card was hand written and had the Christian meaning of my first name, as well as the origin and “meaning” of the amethyst stone - known as the Bishop’s Stone, because it is worn by Catholic Bishops, etc. They totally blew me away on that one.
Still praying that green scapular is doing its thing for them…
