The self flagellation starts at an early age when you're a devout member of Opus Dei, the "Work of God" congregation within the Catholic Church. Your religious friends, relatives and colleagues with good open minded senses of humor, in particular, will get a healthy, soulful laugh upon being gifted this hilarious, pious till it hurts Birthday card. So, don't be shy or secretive about serving up the hysterical Birthday greeting for the greater glorification and divine delight of anybody (mothers, fathers, children and adults with a spiritual bent) turning another year older.
