Thank you so much for posting that link! During Advent I happened to find one of those cards and on the back was written a very nice message from my mother, very simple, given to me on the occasion of my first Confession, with a reminder that "next week you'll recieve Jesus".
It made me cry. And I've been wishing I could find more cards like that....and THERE THEY ARE!
The one I have is not shown here, but the artistry is the same, the image of Jesus is identical, etc.
You've just been the answer to a prayer. Just thought you'd like to know that!
That's wonderful to hear adoro! I'm honoured to know that I was able to be a part of the answer to your prayer. God bless! (And TNT, if you're reading this, thank you for the link!)

And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Thanks Ryan, and I don't mean just for the website link.
I'm getting one for my little one's First Communion, thanks!

Truly, the cards point out that Christ is CENTRAL in The Eucharist:
Another thing is that ALL are KNEELING to receive Him.
nice Holy Cards!
