Prayer is an essential tool for healing and is an excellent source of comfort,
courage and strength for those who are suffering. During times of illness,
disease or a life challenge, nothing is more important than to offer prayer
and to join with others in assurance of these prayers.
In addition to prayer, the Saints protect us against harm, help strengthen our
faith and offer spiritual guidance and healing. They are our models of prayer
and their intercession helps present powerful prayers of healing to God on
our behalf.
Our new Patron Saints of Healing line offers hope and comfort to those who
seek healing through the intercession of the Saints. Each holy card and medal
set includes a high-quality prayer card that contains novena prayers specific

Saint John, the son of Zebedee, and the
brother of Saint James the Great, was called
to be an Apostle by our Lord. He was the only
one of the Twelve who did not forsake
the Savior in the hour of His Passion.
Saint John stood faithfully at the cross when
Jesus made him the guardian of His Mother.
During the era of the new Church, he preached
in Jerusalem and at Ephesus. He was, with the
other apostles, taken prisoner and scourged
by the Jews, and in the year 95, under the
Emperor Domitian, was thrown into a vessel
of boiling oil. Having endured this torture
without burns or injury, he was then banished
to the island of Patmos for a year.
He died at Ephesus in 101 and is credited
with the authorship of three epistles,
one Gospel, and the Book of Revelation.
Saint John is recognized today as the patron
of those suffering from burns.
His feast day is December 27th.
Saint John the Apostle, Pray for Us.
