The Sabine Chapel has some very nice relics. Here are St. Augustine and his mother St. Monica.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Father Z.,
Thank you so much for these photos!
I like to believe I can receive the graces they give by kissing them on my screen, like (I understand) papal blessings can be given via (even recorded) video since John Paul II allowed it.
While I think I’ll pass on leaving lip-marks on my computer screen, I must say that you have some impressive relics Father. How exactly did you come by these (since, as I understand it, relics cannot be bought or sold)? Are these relics interred in your Altar?
You can buy alleged relics every week on ebay.
Let me re-phrase that, you can buy the reliquarys, the relics come free.
What do these relics consist of? Are they parts of these saints’ bodies?
Also, I love the anti-spam word. So fitting.
You can pour your soul into a blog every day, the potential “digs” are free.

Apparently, a Host allegedly consecrated during a Papal Mass by John Paul II is also on ebay…
But seriously, how does one go about getting relics? Are the laity allowed to have relics in their possession or is this limited to the clergy? I can well imagine having a relic in my own home to venerate- I’d be genuflecting everytime I walked in the door.

No matter the final bid it will amount to thirty pieces of silver. :-(
He is with us always, for better or for worse. “Thank Thee, Jesus. In Thy mercy, allow us to give Thee the better part. Amen.”
Ebay no longer allows the sale of first-class relics (they have a policy prohibiting the sale of body parts).
One used to be able to obtain first-class relics from the shrines of saints . . . we have one of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton that we got from her shrine in Maryland. But I don’t think one can do that any more. We also have one of Bl. Frances Siedliska (a lock of her hair) that was given to us by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Third-class relics are easily obtained.
