[11th Commandment]

With all these deep questions, I have a simple question: How do you cut a rob into 100,000 pieces?

As part of the development of popular veneration of a person, 2nd or 3rd class relics are routinely distributed. Typically they are very tiny fragments of fabric affixed to a holy card with an image of the person and some prayers for their beatification, typically something like this:

May we imitate the virtues of this person and may the Church recognize his virtues for the glory of God and the sanctification of the church.

This is typically done during the period when the Church calls someone “venerable” but not yet “blessed.” Once someone is declared blessed the prayers usually read something like this:

Through the intercession of this person, may God accomplish such and such.

Very carefully with very sharp scissors and a very good pair of reading glasses! :)
