PRAYER ON BACK
Holy martyr Erasmus, who didst willingly and bravely bear the trials and sufferings of life, and by thy charity didst console many fellow-sufferers; I implore thee to remember me in my needs and to intercede for me with God. Staunch confessor of the Faith, victorious vanquisher of all tortures, pray Jesus for me and ask Him to grant me the grace to live and die in the Faith through which thou didst obtain the crown of glory. Amen.

Saint Erasmus (St Elmo) baroque paper lace holy card

    In the mid 1800's Letaille Printing House, a Parisian lace holy card printer released a series of holy cards (Divine Pilot) that were the inspiration of many of the faithful. (Even our dear Saint Therese of Lisieux)

    ​

    This series was so respected for it's teaching that even The Protestant Sunday School Association of New York released a book that featured only 10 of the holy cards from the series. It has been unknown for awhile as to how many are actually in this series.

     

    After nearly a decade of research and careful communication with other collectors and antique art dealers from all over the world, our family is believed to be the only source at this time who owns the collection of 13 in it's entirety. (Though we are always looking for another.) We are pleased to present to the faithful for the first time in history, the entire collection of the Divine Pilot holy card series in this magazine issue of Immagini Sacre.

     

    These are the very same images that were the spiritual formation of Saint Therese of Lisieux.

     

    Discover the hidden contemplative holy cards of the mid 1800's and the message they carried.

     

    Thank you for your support in this project as we purchase, photograph, document, & reproduce the contemplative holy images of the past.

     

    Please remember us in prayer, as we remember you.

     

    May God grace you with holy perseverance to the port of salvation.
