Catholic Identity Card.

Our wallets are filled with plastic cards proclaiming that we shop at this store, deal with this bank or are a member of that gym. In this context it is surely the right time to stand up and in a gentle way make a statement proclaiming that we are Catholic, and one tangible way to do this is to carry the Catholic Identity Card.
We are proclaiming our identity as Catholics. This is no less than what we are called to do in Confirmation, as we pledge to be witnesses for Christ. The quote contained on the card: "You will be His witness" epitomises this and affirms to ourselves and to others that we will bear witness as Catholics for Jesus Christ in the world. Carrying the card will serve as a constant reminder to us that we must honour this pledge as we go about our daily lives.
The sacrament of the sick is a very healing one, which can only be administered by a Priest. Carrying this card will ensure that if the holder is in great need of this sacrament, he/she will receive it. In times of great need or crisis, we should feel content to know that we carry a card which will ensure that a priest, the centre of the Catholic faith and one of God's representatives on earth, will be called to give us comfort.
