What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

Baptismal Candle Giveaway!!

We are so excited to be a part of this give-away.  We are giving away one beautiful, artisanal, baptismal candle from REGINA Candles.  Each one is personalized and handpainted just for you.  Read through for details for how you can enter to win...


Baptism is our adoption into the family of God, an incredible gift and a key moment of life when we are freed of sin and filled with God’s grace.  Baptism leads to all other Sacraments where we continue to be nourished by God’s Church.  At each baptism a blessed candle is lit from the Paschal candle, the great symbol of Christ in every Catholic church.  The little light of the baptismal candle is brought home but too often forgotten.



Many cultures cherish the baptismal candle as the sign of that great birth into the family of God.  The candles accompany the person to the rest of their Sacraments and they are brought out each year to celebrate the baptismal date, Christmas, Candlemas and Easter. 




These artisanal candles are personalized, liturgical quality, 51 % beeswax that will help families remember the incredible gift of baptism.  There are seven Christological themes from which to choose.  Each candle comes in a protective tube with a votive holder and suggestions for implementing annual baptismal celebrations into your family tradition.  The candle is a beautiful and perpetual gift, a perfect gift from grandparents or god parents.


This is a $40 value that we are giving away to someone in our Real Life Rosary family.  Don't worry though if you don't win.  You can still visit REGINA Candles and take 15% off of any order just for being a member of our family!

To win a lovely baptism candle, just leave a comment! If you “like” our page on Facebook, let us know in a second comment for a second chance to win! (It’s also a great way to be notified of a new post.) We will close the giveaway on Wednesday night.
