Some people say Catholics worship Mary and the Saints.  Not true, we look up to them as our role models.  In this culture that we are currently living in, it is too easy to stray from what is Holy and True.  That is why we need little reminders of what our goal is and that is to be in heaven with our Lord, the Blessed Mother and all the Saints and Angels!

Think about it, why do kids and teens have posters of thier favorite bands, actors, athletes, super heros?  Why do you have the pictures you have hanging in your home?  They are reminders of who we love, what we love and even visuals that may help calm us or make us feels good when we come home after a rought day.

Look around at all the t-shirts, tote bags, bumber stickers, coffee mugs, etc... What do these items do besides cover yourself, carry your things...?
They promote a message.  Look at all the messages around you, take a mental note of what people are promoting with their "stuff". 

What would happen if we had more Holy reminders in the world?  Would we be able to interject some holiness?  Would people start behaving differently if they kept seeing the Blessed Mother or Jesus' picture throughout the day?  What if your coffee mug with a picture of St. Francis was on your desk day in and day out?  Each time someone read the prayer on the back, would they be saying a little prayer for peace withouth even knowing it?
