Dear Friends,

I wondered if any of you have Relics at home for personal devotions and veneration? I am a great one for the Saints and am devoted to many. I thought I would share with you my relics and wondered if others wished to do so?

May all the Saints and Angels intercede for us!
 
I would love to show you my home Altar as well but sadly it won’t for some reason upload the photo!
 
All I have is a third class relic prayer card of Padre Pio the same as the one pictured below.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
I have a 2nd class relic of Mother Theresa that was given to me by the Bishop advancing her cause, and a 3rd class of St. Clare that my mother got from someone when I was a baby.
I keep them safely tucked away.
No pics.
 
I have a wonderful first class relic of Saint Thérèse, but I don’t have a photograph of it. It’s a few strands of her hair inside a small, round silver reliquary. The relic is on top of red cloth beneath a glass or resin cover, and I wear it on a piece of red cord. I wear it everyday, although I don’t display it and no one ever sees it.
 
I have a brown scapular that I wear with St. Anthony on the front of it that I was only recently made aware that I had turned it into a third class relic.

They were taking an actual relic of St. Anthony around to a few parishes in the Brooklyn and New York Diocese and I was able to touch my scapular to the relic and pray for his intercession. I might be wrong, but I think at that moment my scapular became a third class relic.

I also have the holy card relics for Blessed Mother Teresa and Pope St. John Paul II, which were made available by the postulators for their causes for canonization.

An interesting relic I obtained is shown in the pic. These, I was told, are pieces of wood from the original coffin of Blessed Miguel Pro, taken when he was exhumed and reinterred in a more appropriate vessel. These relics were made available some years ago by the late author Ann Ball of Texas, who was a great promoter of Blessed Miguel’s cause for canonization.
