Five handmade Eastern Catholic and Orthodox prayer cards for those living with autoimmune disease, chronic illness, and the suffering that medicine cannot fully reach.
Each card features a full-color icon on the front. On the back: a short historical biography of the saint — who they were, what they suffered or healed, and why the faithful pray to them — followed by a prayer addressed directly to that saint for help with physical healing. Cards are standard holy card size (2.5" × 4.25"), printed on quality card stock, and made by hand in Austin, Texas.
The five saints in this bundle:
Saint Rafqa of Lebanon — Maronite Catholic. Bore 29 years of blindness and progressive physical incapacity with extraordinary peace. Her symptoms align with connective tissue autoimmune disease. The patron most specifically invoked for lupus and chronic illness.
Saint Charbel Makhlouf — Maronite Catholic. The Miracle Worker of Lebanon, with over 33,000 documented healings. Particularly invoked when illness is treatment-resistant and medicine has reached its limit.
Saint Panteleimon the Great Martyr — Eastern Orthodox. A trained physician who healed without charge, calling upon Christ as the true source of healing. Patron of doctors, nurses, and the seriously ill for seventeen centuries.
Saint Nektarios of Aegina — Eastern Orthodox. Patron of cancer and incurable illness. Bore unjust suffering with extraordinary peace — the saint for those who have been dismissed, disbelieved, or told there is nothing more to be done.
Saint Luke of Crimea, the Surgeon — Eastern Orthodox. A canonized surgeon-bishop who practiced medicine and prayer simultaneously. For those navigating complex diagnoses, specialist decisions, and the intersection of faith and medicine.
These cards are for the person sitting with a new diagnosis, the caregiver who doesn't know how to pray anymore, and the patient who has tried everything medicine can offer. Place them on a nightstand, in a Bible, near a medication station, or carry one in your wallet. Each card carries enough history to introduce you to the saint and enough prayer to begin asking.
