The Catholic News Service reported from the Vatican on September 12, 2013: "Pope Francis gave pilgrims attending his weekly public audience Sept. 11 what he called a 'homework assignment' to find out the date they were baptized and celebrate it every year. 'How many of you remember the date of your baptism?' the pope asked the crowd in St. Peter's Square, and then acknowledged a relatively small show of hands.... 'When you go home today, look hard for the date of your baptism, so you can celebrate it and thank the Lord for this gift.'" So, the message and prayer on this card have recently been reinvigorated by the Holy Father.
This prayer card makes a perfect end of Vacation Bible School send off gift, a start of year gift, or a gift for First Communion.
