Greet and send blessings to the freshly ordained leader and servant of the faithful with our Mass in a Connemara Cabin Ordination Greeting Card! The front displays Aloysius O'Kelly's painting of a priest offering Mass with Irish men, women, and children in a humble kitchen. Remind yourself and the new "priest of God Most High" about the power and grace bestowed upon a priest, that he is made into Christ more fully by the Sacrament in order to bring us, his sheep, closer to our Home with Christ. As the Cure of Ars said, "The priest continues the work of redemption on earth.... If we really understood the priest on earth, we would die not of fright but of love.... The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus."
This 5"x7" card comes with envelopes and is available in a bundle of 6. It adds the perfect personal touch to an Ordination gift!
