Saint Rafqa (Rafka) of Lebanon (1832 – 1914) was a humble Maronite nun whose life of suffering became a living prayer. When she asked God to let her share in Christ’s Passion, she was granted years of pain and blindness — yet she never complained. Her gentle spirit and radiant joy brought peace to those around her, and after her death her intercession began to heal the sick and comfort the sorrowful.
Canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2001, Saint Rafqa is venerated by the Maronite Catholic, Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholic Churches as a model of redemptive suffering and holy endurance. Her incorrupt body and documented miracles stand as powerful signs of God’s mercy and the strength found in humility.
Each Saint Rafqa Prayer Card is hand-made and made to order, crafted with reverent care and covered in prayer from beginning to end. During its creation, prayers are offered for the person who will receive it, making every card a true act of love and intercession.
This prayer card honors the saint who turned pain into praise and suffering into grace — a reminder that even in darkness, God’s light still shines through those who love Him completely.
