The Light Gift Box is a wonderful inducement to prayer whether it is gifted to someone to mark a significant sacrament or simply to send love to someone who might need it. It includes The Sacred Heart Reliquary, our Light Spiral Notebook, and the Deep Wooden Rosary. All this comes packaged in a pine wood box tied with a navy ribbon.
