Honor the courage and faith of Blessed Leonard Melki, a Maronite priest and martyr of the early 20th century, with this powerful double-laminated Catholic prayer card. Born in 1881 in Baabdat, Lebanon, Leonard Melki entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order and was later sent as a missionary to Turkey. Known for his humility, tireless service, and unwavering faith, he became a beacon of Christ’s love and truth during a time of darkness.
In 1915, during the Ottoman persecution of Christians, Fr. Leonard was arrested for his faith. Despite torture and threats, he refused to renounce Christ and was ultimately executed. His martyrdom stands as a powerful witness to the Gospel and remains a source of enduring inspiration for Maronite Catholics and all believers facing trials for their faith.
This prayer card features a reverent, historically accurate portrait of Blessed Leonard Melki on the front, capturing his solemn strength. The back includes a concise biography highlighting his life of sacrifice, missionary spirit, and heroic death.
