Saint Rafqa (Rafka) of Lebanon (1832–1914) was a Maronite nun whose life of sacrifice and prayer became a masterpiece of holiness. When she prayed to share in Christ’s suffering, she was struck with years of painful illness that left her blind and paralyzed. Yet she never complained — her heart overflowed with gratitude, and her smile inspired all who met her. Through her suffering, she united herself completely with the passion of Jesus.
Venerated by the Maronite Catholic, Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholic Churches, Saint Rafqa was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2001. Her body was found incorrupt, and miracles of healing continue through her intercession, especially for those who suffer physical pain or emotional hardship.
Each Saint Rafqa of Lebanon 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 devotion and love.
