Prayer of a Vatican Stamp Collector

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Vatican stamps. May our collections grow with new Vatican stamps, special postmarked covers and folders. We pray that our philatelic studies bring us wisdom, peace, and joy . Guide us with Abraham’s wisdom, Saint Catherine’s letter writing skills, Saint Jude’s perseverance, and Gabriel’s grace in all of our correspondence. May we share generously with our fellow stamp collectors, and let our philatelic journey lead us closer to Christ and the Holy Spirit.
