A collection of prayers, sacrifices, acts of charity, and other pious deeds offered for a specific intention, such as the well-being of an individual, the repose of a soul, or the success of a particular endeavor within the Catholic Church. These spiritual offerings are then recorded and presented as a symbolic “bouquet” to the recipient, signifying a gift of spiritual support and love.
This practice provides a tangible expression of faith and community solidarity. It offers comfort and encouragement to those facing challenges, celebrates milestones, and serves as a powerful reminder of the support system present within the Church. Historically, this custom has deepened personal piety, fostered communal prayer, and strengthened the bonds between members of the Church.
