In the year 1820, a Belgian artist named Joseph Paelinck blessed the world with this beautiful and intimate depiction of the Holy Family, unique in that it features not only Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, but also the Grandparents of our Lord, St. Joachim and St. Anne. In the image, the Virgin Mary and her mother St. Anne hold the Christ Child, observed by Mary's husband St. Joseph and her father St. Joachim. The dramatic lighting and the sharply articulated folds of drapery in this intimate work show Paelinck's admiration of Jacques-Louis David's Neoclassical style.


Share your faith with this beautiful holy card! The 2.5"x4.25" holy card features a beautiful image of the Holy Family on the front, with a prayer on the back:

Prayer:

JMJ

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, like you we are
members of the Father's family.
We pray that our family love may
reflect his love on its openness
to all people. May we forgive even
when not forgiven, and be patient
with others' weaknesses.

Jesus, give us peace, unity
and strength to meet the difficulties
of daily living. May we use our family
resources to improve the quality
of life for ourselves and all people.
Let us show joy in serving,
for whatever we do for others,
we do for you.

Mary, inspire us, that our love
may be strong but not possessive.
Let our willingness to give depend
on the needs of others rather
than on the cost of giving.

Joseph, help us to be attentive
to the Father's will. Let us be ready,
as you were, to act
whenever he calls us.

Amen.

    We recently had a grandparents visitation day for our CCD classes and Father gave these beautiful cards to all of the attending grandparents. There was a mixup with our order but it was quickly rectified and the correct cards were sent to us! Great customer service God Bless You!

    Holy Family with Grandparents Prayer Card

    Posted by Carol Walker on 14th Dec 2021

    These were high quality prayer cards. The print is one of my favorites. I ordered these to put inside my Christmas cards as a small gift & a little reminder to family & friends the true reason we celebrate Christmas. Only one issue was the prayer was a bit to modern for me, being traditional, wished it would have been the traditional Prayer to the Holy Family or be able to pick from an assortment of prayers to put on the back, but I know that is not always possible. Still loved sending them! Thank you & will be a repeat customer.
