Flowers are a staple of Valentine’s Day, but why not add a spiritual bouquet to your beloved’s gift? This meaningful Catholic tradition involves saying prayers or performing acts of mercy, charity or devotion offered on behalf of someone else or for their intentions. Just as you can combine any flowers to assemble the perfect arrangement, you can choose any prayers or acts for the spiritual version. Among the most popular are completing a novena, saying a rosary, attending Mass, spending time in Eucharistic Adoration, volunteering time or money to a ministry the recipient cares about, or making a sacrifice (like fasting or giving something up) on behalf of the recipient. While some organizations will send a card if you request Masses, you can also take a DIY approach to crafting your gift. You can describe what you did in a card, via a text message, or cut out paper flowers and write an individual act on each one to present a physical bouquet.
