These alabaster bookends feature Mary, Our Lady of Grace. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for everyone with a devotion to Mary, Mediatrix of graces.


The prayer was composed by Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She had a very deep relationship with Our Lord and Lady, which was the real source of her seemingly endless joy and energy. Her love for them overcame the seemingly relentless depression and doubt she suffered under for much of her life.


The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish and will last for years to come.

Each measures roughly 6" x 8", including the 4"x 6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

 

Text reads:

"Mary, Mother of Jesus, give me your Heart, so beautiful, so pure, so Immaculate, so full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as You loved Him, and serve Him as You served Him, in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor. Amen.

-Mother Teresa's prayer to Mary"
