Invoke the intercession of a great French saint with Prayer to Saint Genevieve Laminated Holy Card.
St. Genevive lived a life of constant prayer and charity as well as self-imposed austerity. She was named the patroness of Paris because it is believed that her prayers and penance diverted an attack of Attila the Hun and prevented famine by penetrating a military blockade with boatloads of grain. Her feast day is January 3.
This full-color, laminated prayer card features a depiction of St. Genevieve on the front, and a prayer to this holy saint on the back. Printed in Italy.
Available in singles or in packs of 25.
Prayer on the back:
Saint Genevieve, you who by the days before penance and prayer, ensured the protection of Paris, intercede near God for us, for our country, for the devoted Christian hearts. You who cured the sick and fed the hungry, obtain the light of God and make us stronger to reject temptation. You who had the concern of the poor, protect the sick, the abandoned, and the unemployed. You who resisted the armies and encouraged the besieged, give us the direction for the truth and justice. You who through the centuries never ceased taking care of your people, help us to keep the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. May your example be for us, an encouragement to always seek God and serve him through our brothers and sisters.
Amen.
