The Symbol of the Cardinal at St. Thomas~
A Cardinal is a representation of a loved-one
that has passed. Cardinals usually show up
when you most need, or miss a loved-one.
They also make an appearance during times
of celebration, as well as despair, to let you know they will
always be with you. Look for them, they’ll appear.
PREPARE ~
Advent Penance Service
