St Therese's Handmade Holy Cards – Prayer for a Pure Heart – pack of 10/100/1000 #090

Our dear little friend Therese of Lisieux made this card by hand while she was in the convent. She came from a family of artists; her sisters were by and large quite accomplished in painting and drawing, especially Celine, and Therese was good too, though she didn't do lots of it.

Her calligraphy on the front says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!” The prayer we've paired with the front is to Therese, asking her to help make our hearts pure like hers., so hopefully we all see God come the day.

4.25x2.75" Holy Card, matt finish to resist fingerprints, sturdy card stock.

As with this and all of our images, you may have a custom holy card made with a personalized back printed for you. See this listing for details: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1019181226/custom-holy-cards

Thank you for your interest.

Sue and John

Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they shall see God!

“O dear St. Therese, who,

in your brief earthly life, became

a mirror of angelic purity, of courageous

love, and of whole-hearted

surrender to Almighty God,

now that you are with our dear Jesus,

turn your eyes upon us,

and obtain for us the grace

to keep our hearts and minds pure

and clean like yours. Amen.”
