One of the most favorite of all the saints, Saint Nicholas, whose feastday is December 6th, is not only patron of children but a great wonderworker as well.    Advent is the season to make room in our soul for the coming of the Holy Babe of Bethlehem, His Blessed Mother and humble St. Joseph.  What better way to begin in earnest this holy season than to call upon St. Nicholas, Pilot of your Soul.  On the front of this holy card is original artwork of St. Nicholas with a prayer on the back.

St. Patrick exhorts us to arise from sleep and live a holy life for the love of God and our neighbor.  The holy examples of St. Patrick will encourage us in our sacramental life.  What better way to make St. Patrick known and to imitate his love for God and neighbor then in our homes, parish churches and celebrations honoring the great saint by letting others know the real St. Patrick.  The St. Patrick Arise From Sleep Prayer Card contains these sentiments and a short prayer to St. Patrick, along with a vintage black and white image.

St. Patrick is the giver of the Word of God -- The Roman Catholic Faith.  In the 5th century, after the barbarian hordes had overun the Roman Empire, most of Europe had lost knowledge of God, but St Patrick converted the entire island of Ireland to Christianity thanks to his zeal, fortitude, humility and fear of God.  Following their conversion the Irish people were filled with the zeal of St. Patrick, and went out into Europe rekindling the Christian Faith and saving civilization from going into darkness.

How Saint Patrick Saved Civilization Prayer Card outlines how St. Patrick accomplished this task, and an inspirational message and prayer to St. Patrick to rekindle our faith.

St. Peter's feastday (which he shares with St. Paul the Apostle) is one of the most solemn in the Church calendar.  It is one of 10 feasts that may be holy days of obligation in the Western Church.  Our holy card shows Christ bestowing on St. Peter the keys of the kingdom.  The Latin inscription translates as:  You are Peter and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the powers of the lower world shall not prevail against it.  And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven.   The back of the holy card has the entire passage, in English, of course.

St. Filumena Holy Card

This large holy card of St. Philomena, or Filumena in the original Latin, features a vintage image of the saint with the Blessed Mother and Child Jesus.  On the back of this holy card is a prayer to Saint Filumena, the virgin and martyr, who is a great wonder worker for all who seek her aid, and the patron of infants, babies, and youth.  

St. Philomena was a Greek princess who lived at the end of the 3rd century.  When she was only eleven she consecrated herself to Jesus, and therefore when she remained steadfast in her Faith against the wishes of the Roman Emperor Diocletian who wished to marry her, he subjected her to a series of tortures finally ending in her martyrdom.

In the 19th century an Oblate of Our Mother of Sorrows, a Dominican Tertiary at the blessing and instruction of her priest was privileged to to have St. Philomena reveal her life:  "I am the daughter of the king of a small Grecian State and my mother, too, was of royal blood.  They continually offered sacrifices to false gods to obtain a child.  We had in our family a doctor called Publius who was a Christian...Inspired by the Holy Ghost, he spoke to them of our Faith and made them this promise, "If you want a child, be baptized and embrace the religion of Jesus Christ."  They were instructed and were baptized along with a number of their courtiers.  A year later, on January 10th, I was Born and I was called Lumina because I had been conceived and born in the light of the Faith, to which my parents were now truly devoted.  Affectionately, I was called, Filumena - Daughter of Light, of that Light of Christ which dwelt in my soul by the grace I received in Baptism.  Because of my birth many families in the kingdom became Christians.  I grew up with the teaching of the Gospel printed deeply in my heart.  When I was five, I received for the first time Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist; and on that day was planted in my heart the desire to be united forever to my Redeemer Who is the Spouse of virgins.  When I was eleven, I consecrated myself to Him by vow."

In the sacrament of Baptism we received the name of a saint to become our protector and guide throughout our life.  As each of us grows in age and grace it is an opportunity to become dear friends with our patron saint.  We can read more about him or her in the many Lives of the Saints books that have been written, or possibly even read the saint's own writings.  And, of course, we should talk to our patron saint often in prayer and ask for his or her assistance. 

Our Patron Saint Holy Card has a beautiful image of your saint and a special prayer to help you remain dear friends and to ask him or her to aid you in the virtuous life.

Did you know that in 19th century France it was the Catholic custom to add the name of Mary for girls and Joseph for boys?  For example, one might be called Mary Therese or Joseph John for their baptism saints.  In the 20th century in France the name Therese was often added as a middle name for girls, in honor of St. Therese of the Child Jesus.
