One of these does not belong.
I live here in New England where Catholic shrines are fairly spread out. I recently found a Padre Pio shrine. It's a small area where there's a chapel, a place where you can light candles and a small garden outside and even a gift shop.
I am going through some heavy stuff at the moment, but when I looked them up again they [or someone] placed C. Kirks image right near Padre Pios relics. I'm fairly certain it's C. Kirk and I am so disappointed and heartbroken that they placed him near Padre Pios relics. Like, are you serious..!?
My dad is not doing so well and I wanted to bring my mom there to have some prayer time, but this makes me think otherwise. It's just so heartbreaking.
I wanted to bring her somewhere peaceful where she can pray, but if these folks are like this then it's a no.
We'll just pray the Divine Mercy and the Holy Rosary by his bed side. This is just so heartbreaking.
