When you carry the Pocket Sanctuary,Â
you are never without an altar. This unique "unfolding"Â
design allows you to enter a sacred space regardless of where you stand:
Step 1
The Threshold Unfolding:Â
When the world becomes too heavy, unfasten the buttons of the floral pouch.Â
As the fabric unfolds into the shape of a Sacred Cross,Â
imagine the doors of your heart opening wide to the Divine.
Step 2
The Prayer of Enkindling:Â
Gaze at the top panel, the image of theÂ
Sacred Heart and whisper the invocation:Â
"Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts ofÂ
Thy faithful and enkindle in themÂ
the fire of Thy love".Â
Let these words ignite a light in your current darkness.
Step 3
The Tactile Surrender:Â
Place your thumb upon the central Silver Cross.Â
Feel its cool weight as your anchor. While your fingers rest there,Â
read the Anima Christi on the bottom panel:Â
"Soul of Christ, sanctify me...Â
Within Thy wounds hide me".
Step 4Â
Let Heaven Do the Rest:
 Refold your sanctuary and tuck it away.Â
You are not "leaving" your prayer room;Â
you are carrying its peace with you.Â
Every time you touch the pouch throughout the day,Â
let it be a signal to your soul: "God is taking it from here."
