Buy This, Not That
What object do you handle most throughout the day? Most likely, it’s not your rosary or your bible; it’s your phone.
Each time you pick it up, that phone – and its case, if you use one – makes a statement about you to the world. So why not let that statement be a declaration of your faith? Instead of a nod to pop culture or ostentatious materialism (that Gucci designer case will set you back a cool $350), you can choose a decorative case with a scripture quote from Prone to Wander LA (pronetowanderla.com).
Better yet, do it yourself: Buy a clear case and insert a prayer card between the case and the back of your phone. For a minimal cost, you’ll have a custom case complete with your favorite sacred image: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Jesus, a saint – and you can swap out the card for a new look as often as you like!
Want to go farther? Download a palette of Catholic emojis from your phone’s app marketplace and add Christian symbols and portraits to your texting iconography. Now, instead of distracting you from the Gospel, your phone will remind you of your faith every time you use it. But sorry – still no texting during Mass!
