Saint Lidwina of Schiedam is one of the Church’s most powerful witnesses to redemptive suffering. After a childhood injury left her bedridden, she endured decades of severe illness, pain, and physical decline, offering her suffering to God in prayer for others. Rather than withdrawing inward, her life became one of deep compassion, intercession, and quiet holiness.
Despite intense physical hardship, Saint Lidwina accepted her suffering with patience and trust, uniting it to Christ for the salvation of souls. She became known for her mystical life, Eucharistic devotion, and spiritual insight, offering comfort and guidance to many who sought her prayers. Because of her life, she is especially invoked by those living with chronic illness, long-term pain, disability, and hidden suffering.
This prayer card features a traditional oil-painting style image inspired by historic devotional art, portraying Saint Lidwina in prayer, marked by both suffering and peace. The artwork is created to support quiet devotion, bedside prayer, and perseverance during prolonged trials.
Each Saint Lidwina of Schiedam Prayer Card is hand-made and made to order, created with reverent care and intentionally covered in prayer from beginning to end. During its creation, prayers are offered for the person who will receive it, making every card a quiet act of intercession and faith.
This prayer card honors a saint whose life reminds us that suffering, when united to Christ, can become a source of grace, strength, and healing for others.
