Pacem in Terris Mini Incense Kit — Six Liturgical Notes

A mini devotional kit pairing 0.7 oz of the Pacem in Terris pontifical resin — olibanum, myrrh, balsamic storax, nard, rose, and lavender — with 6 quick-light charcoal tablets and mini tongs.

The blend was released to mark the opening of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV. Each of its six ingredients is keyed to one of the four pillars of peace set out in Saint John XXIII's 1963 encyclical Pacem in Terris: olibanum for truth, myrrh and balsamic storax for justice, nard and rose for charity, lavender for liberty in Christ. The kit fits personal prayer in a home altar or office shrine.

Pacem in Terris was issued in April 1963, the first papal encyclical addressed not only to Catholics but to "all people of good will." Written at the height of Cold War tension, it set out a framework for peace founded on truth, justice, charity, and liberty in Christ, and remains a foundational text of modern Catholic social teaching. The phrase itself is engraved on the tomb of Saint John XXIII in Saint Peter's Basilica.
