 Holy calling card gets you blessed by Mexican priest » VivirLatino   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

But something about having the picture of La Virgen on a calling card, one not even issued by the church, seems wrong to me. Buying a portrait or candle or rosary is one thing, it's out of devotion.
