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
to the affliction, a short biography of the patron saint and an oxidized silver
patron saint medal.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe was born in 1894
in Poland and at age 12, he received a vision
from Mary that changed his life forever.
Soon after, he joined a Franciscan seminary
and took his final vows in 1914.
Before his ordination as a priest, Maximilian
founded the Immaculata Movement devoted to
Our Lady. He spread the Movement through
missionary work in Japan and India. He fell ill
during his travels and returned home to Poland in 1936.
After the Nazi invasion in 1939, he was arrested
and sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz.
On July 31, 1941, in retribution for one prisoner's
escape, ten men were chosen to die. Maximilian
offered himself in place of a young husband and
father. He endured two weeks of torture before he
was executed with an injection of carbolic acid.
He was canonized on October 10, 1982.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe is recognized today
as the patron of those addicted to drugs.
His feast day is August 14th.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Pray for Us.
