let us pray
Ad sales have been way down, which is not really a surprise, since sales of just about everything are down these days. One type of ad, however, is selling like hotcakes: prayer ads. Those are way up. Go figure. Prayers to the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Virgin, and St. Jude are peppering the pages of the Reminder lately.
I must confess that I really don't understand the phenomenon; where did the whole publishing of prayers to make them come true start? I'm pretty sure that's not taught in church canon. What tickles me, though, is that what these people are doing could be considered Magick; if you told them that, though, they'd be horrified. It's one of those things that I just don't get, like NASCAR or teacup poodles. We just didn't do that in our family.
